To summarize this chapter, we are of the opinion that Jaudat testified about things that he saw and perceived with his senses.  Jaudat's version, even if it is not "perfect, " is a true version that is supported and corroborated in part by forensic findings and by the defendant's version.  This is especially true for the core of the witness's version.  Some of the contradictions that have been detailed are rooted in the nature of the event, which is swift and surprising in a way that makes it difficult to accurately grasp all the details.  The witness who knew the deceased and evacuated him while he was dying and bleeding, so that this is also a stressful and traumatic event.  We believe that great weight should be given to this testimony, and it is derived from this, to determine that the defendant's manner of driving as described supports the fact that this was a deliberate vehicular attack.

and a final note to the end of this chapter.  We have already discussed the importance of Jaudat's testimony and its incriminating significance.  However, the circumstantial evidentiary attachment that acts on the defendant's duty is such intensity that even without it it is possible to learn about the intention to kill: reliable testimony by Tawfiq about threatening to harm the deceased with a Dodge ß vehicle A few minutes later, the defendant gets into a Dodge ßcar while changing his brother, even though he is not authorized to drive itß, drives towards the deceased's residence and runs over him ß without braking the vehicle ß in the opposite lane ß while fleeing from the scene, ß hiding the vehicle in the Yatir Forest.  All this, along with the defendant's submission of contradictory and false versions regarding central issues at the core of the dispute.
