It was also argued during the hearings, and in the defense summaries in great detail, that the investigators were "locked" to an investigative concept according to which the defendant was one of the two people who murdered the deceased. Therefore, the investigators ignored the possibility that it was two others, none of whom was the defendant but another person, especially since the only witness to the murder (the deceased's wife who was standing next to him when he was stabbed) made it clear that the deceased had been stabbed by two young men, while the defendant was not visible and could not be considered a young person. Given this, 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. Moreover, the police contaminated important scenes, coordinated versions, implanted evidence, and focused solely on proving the initial thesis that the defendant was one of the murderers, while producing evidence to prove it, and deliberately neglecting and blatantly ignoring any evidence that might have weakened that initial thesis.
Key figures and factual data
Before we turn to the examination of the evidence, and in order to facilitate the task of reading, we have found it appropriate to clarify a number of factual data and to indicate a number of people who have an arm and a leg in the factual tract, and at least in the factual tract that was claimed by one of the parties.
Ruth (Ruthie) Arnon is the widow of the deceased, Tal is their daughter, married to Eyal Tsafrir, and the two lived in the compound of the deceased's home.
Moran Vaknin is a lawyer who worked in the office of the deceased and conducted various legal proceedings with him and for him, including proceedings related to the Einhorn complex.
The defendant was married to Sigal Avioz, and they have eleven children together, although, according to them, the latter is only Sigal's biological son, but the defendant recognizes him as his own child.
