I will add that if the defendant had mentioned, in real time, and even shortly afterwards, that there were others at the scene, and that he had even gone out in search of them, resources would certainly have been invested immediately and decisively to locate, identify, and capture them. However, he did not mention anyone, except the deceased, and the presence of the minister.
Interim summary and conclusion regarding the defendant's sole responsibility for causing the death of the deceased
- At the end of the two previous main chapters, cited above, determinations were made and conclusions were drawn, the essence of which was that it was proven, with direct and convincing evidence, that the defendant was the one who stabbed the deceased, and that his version and testimony regarding "unknown or unknown" were false, and that there is no doubt about the prosecution's evidence. In addition, and in the chapter dealing with this, we determined that the stabbings were the ones that caused the death of the deceased, and we ruled out the possibility that the causal connection between the stabbings and death was "interrupted" due to failed medical treatment for the deceased or similar.
Thus, it was sufficient to determine that the accuser met the standard of proof, beyond a reasonable doubt, in order to bring about the conviction of the defendant for the offense of manslaughter, the classification of which will be determined after examining the existence of the elements of the specific offenses enumerated by the law.
Since the defense's case was limited to the testimony of the defendant (an expert opinion prepared on behalf of the defense was withdrawn by it and excluded from the evidence) - it follows that the rest of the evidence, which was reviewed in the previous chapter, which is - additional forensic evidence and the testimonies of the accuser's experts, evidence from the scene, and "peripheral" (mainly technical) evidence - could have been, from the accuser's perspective, and in retrospect analysis - only as additional reinforcement to the fabric of evidence, which was already found to be sufficiently convincing.
