I will not now repeat the task of analyzing each and every piece of evidence that I dwelt on in the previous chapters, but I will gather the findings that have been formulated, draw the overall picture and examine whether at the end of the second stage a picture emerges that incriminates the defendant in the murder, whether he was able to provide an alternative reasonable explanation in the third stage, which raises doubt as to his responsibility, and whether there is an alternative exculpatory scenario, even one that the defendant did not mention.
Let us, therefore, return to the beginning of the process, and mention the evidentiary layers on which the accuser relied and the scope of the arena of dispute, as outlined by the defense. The first layer of evidence was intended to prove the very occurrence of the murder, and focused on the scene of the murder in Ben Gurion Square in Lod and the events that took place there. The second layer focused on the vehicles involved in the murder, and established the involvement of the residents of the Mitsubishi and Toyota in the planning and execution of the murder. In the third layer, the connection between these vehicles and operational phone numbers held in them at the relevant hours on the day of the murder was proven - subscriber 141 in Toyota and subscriber 685 in Mitsubishi. As clarified, the learned defense counsel did not disagree in their summaries on what is detailed in these three layers of evidence. There was no dispute regarding the commission of the murder in Ben Gurion Square, as detailed in the indictment. There was no dispute that the residents of the Mitsubishi and Toyota took an active part in the commission of the murder, and cooperated with each other throughout the day, before and after the murder, and no claim was raised regarding the use of the operational phones in each of the vehicles, as stated above. Therefore, I will suffice with a brief description of the relevant findings that emerged from the analysis of the evidence in relation to these levels.
