In other words, the focus, in our opinion, is not at all on the positive conclusions of the experts, which, at most, would strengthen the already weighty and convincing testimonies that the defendant is obligated to do, but rather on the products of the experts' investigations by the defense, and on the questions raised by the defense, and even this - on a single point - whether the foundation was indeed laid for the presence and involvement of an unknown person or unknown persons in the act of murder.
Documentation - the direct evidence denies the presence of a stranger or strangers in the courtyard scene (an external balcony). The evidence regarding the scene of the interior of the apartment - circumstantial. If there is no circumstantial indication of "outsider" involvement in the apartment incident - then there is no escape from the only conclusion that may be - the lone stabber is the one who acted inside the apartment and he is the one who continued his "activity" after leaving the yard.
The forensic evidence (some of it, as noted, is brought for the sake of good order and without significant implications for the decision):
Investigators at the scene:
- Scene investigator in the Negev Forensic Investigation, Sgt. Elitzur Dinar, A.T. 21 - A report summarizing the forensic investigation in the case of the defendant (P/58); a report summarizing the forensic investigation into the deceased (P/59); a report on the transfer of mobile phones seized at the scene to the forensic investigation (P/60); and a CD containing all the photographs taken by the witness (P/61).
In the first report relating to the defendant (which also included a report on the seizure of exhibits that were given, according to the documentation, to investigator Elad Avraham), P/58, the interrogator documented his arrival at the emergency room at Soroka Hospital, and the meeting with the defendant, who did not cooperate, on the day of the incident at 10:30 a.m. The documentation included taking photographs (104 photographs, 21 of which were printed and attached to the report), seizing clothes (a pair of shoes, a pair of socks, pants, underwear, a shirt and tzitzit) and putting them in a plastic bag, and taking samples of suspected blood substances from various areas of the defendant's body (fingernails, chest, neck, ear, neck, neck, neck, hands, feet, palms, forehead), as well as a mark of the suspected bite on his right forehead. It should be noted that the collection of reports of seizure of the exhibits, which was included in this exhibit, was also submitted on behalf of the defense, and was marked N/3.
