The defendant, Mr. D. Mukin : Because he wasn't armed.
Adv. Y. Katz: Nice, I want to understand how your mind worked, you explained to us that you didn't feel any danger to your life until the end of it when he screams now you're dead, because he wasn't conscious (Thus in the original - my note Y.S.) Right? Someone who is not armed and you don't feel danger from him, so running to him and stepping on his weapon and shooting him near the head is reasonable in your opinion?
The defendant, Mr. D. Mukin : As part of managing an event, yes.
Adv. Y. Katz: What is Event Management?
The defendant, Mr. D. Mukin : It means that I felt threatened, it means that he attacked first, he was the one who swore at the first episode of the car, ...
Adv. Y. Katz: I didn't understand how you suddenly felt threatened, you explained to us that you didn't feel threatened...
The defendant, Mr. D. Mukin : The way he ran to me with body movements that I didn't see for sure that he didn't have a weapon in his hands, with the curses, with the aggressiveness, with the murder in his eyes, I felt threatened and as soon as I felt threatened I felt Shay (Thus in the original - my note Y.S.) This is an incident that is suspicious as far as I'm concerned, so yes I have to strive for contact, that's what is expected of every fighter in the State of Israel.
Adv. Y. Katz: You said two opposite things, you said both in the police and in the beginning that you didn't feel threatened at this stage...
The Honorable Judge 10. Sheetrit : What made you start shooting in the air, was it in response to what?
The defendant, Mr. D. Mukin : The fact that he was attacking me, I didn't want to stay at a disadvantage.
The Honorable Judge 10. Sheetrit : At this point, did he attack you?
The defendant, Mr. D. Mukin : He got out of his car, he ran towards me, he threatened me to shout and curse, he ran towards me, I won't sit and wait to see what he does, I have to deter this thing, this incident.
