Therefore, the defendant's statements in his second interrogation on August 2, 2016 (P/172) are admissible as evidence, even against him.
The defendant's statements in the framework of this interrogation contain explicit confessions, along with statements that, even if there are no confessions, indicate his knowledge and involvement, all as detailed above.
I find the defendant's confessions in the framework of P/172, and especially his explicit confession that the weapons were transferred to his vehicle, in his presence, as the main evidence for the conclusion that the defendant committed what is attributed to him in the indictment.
The clear impression from watching the interrogation is that the defendant's words are said freely and of his own volition, and some of them even on his own initiative.
Moreover, his confession is made while it is clear that he is well aware of his statement, its meaning and its content.
A series of additional, independent, which was not concealed, substantiates the defendant's involvement and the conclusion that he carried out what was attributed to him in the indictment.
This independent evidence includes the locations and details of his vehicle's drive on Route 6, from which a clear conclusion emerges regarding his presence at the place alleged in the indictment, and at the time alleged, all as detailed above.
All of these amount to "something extra" thatis required as an evidentiary addition to the defendant's confession, and it should be noted that they even exceed the required evidentiary requirement.
This is external, objective and independent evidence.
Moreover, the defendant did not give any explanation for this independent evidence and its significance regarding his presence at the place at the time and time stated in the indictment.
To all of the above, we must add Shadi's testimony, which, although it does not contain an explicit statement regarding the transfer of the weapons to the defendant himself, includes a description of all the facts in the incident, which is consistent with all of the aforementioned evidence.
