In order to support these claims, an opinion was submitted on behalf of the defense that dealt with the forensic evidence, and the editor of the opinion was also called to testify on behalf of the defense.
In addition, in the course of the proceeding, many allegations were raised regarding various and multiple investigative failures, which stemmed from the fact that the investigators were "locked" to the investigative concept that the defendant was one of the two perpetrators of the murder. Therefore, no necessary investigative actions were taken, additional investigative directions were deliberately neglected, and evidence that might have been useful to the defendant's defense was not substantiated or corroborated by the defendant. Moreover, the police officers contaminated important scenes, coordinated versions, planted evidence, and focused solely on proving the initial thesis that the defendant was one of the murderers, while producing evidence to prove it.
As for the defendant, it presented a credible alibi version that was not conquered. His version was supported by external evidence and was given belatedly as a reasonable response to the conduct of the investigators towards him. He felt that the police investigators, especially the team leader, had accused him of being the murderer regardless of the evidence; His feeling was that there was no real intention to go down to investigate the truth. Investigators told him explicitly that even if he had an alibi, he was the murderer. This feeling, coupled with the denial of his right to consult a lawyer properly, led him to remain silent during his initial interrogations. Only after he was given a chance to speak freely with his lawyers did he give his detailed version. The claim that he "fabricated" after he was exposed to the investigation materials is incorrect, since he did not receive relevant investigative materials according to the alibi, and even gave the alibi outlines at the very beginning to the lawyer who represented him during the investigation before the indictment was filed. The defense attorney also testified about this.
