This matter was hurled at the defendant in his cross-examination and did not receive any satisfactory explanation except for a general answer to which he would repeat many times and in response to the many contradictions that were hurled at him, according to which "I tell you that I do not know what I said. In the second interrogation I said I want to tell you everything"; I was confused." In this context, it should be noted that the defendant was not arrested and brought for interrogation immediately after the car-ramming, but only after more than 6 hours he was detained at random by a police checkpoint that was set up on the way (in connection with another incident).
It was found that the defendant had several hours to understand the results of his actions and to talk to others (as he did indeed confirm), before he was brought for interrogation. To this we may add that it is not clear why the blurring is supposed to lead to the fact that the vehicle with which he ran over the deceased and which he tried to disappear in the Yatir Forest will not be mentioned in response to a direct question by the investigator regarding him. These words stand even in a corridor conversation that preceded the recorded interrogation (P/35) the defendant indirectly confirmed that the accident was committed in the Dodge vehicle (according to the investigator, he went out to the defendant holding the key to a Dodge car in his hand and asked who was driving that car). And if he confirmed this indirectly, why did he refrain from mentioning it in his first interrogation, when he claimed that it was an inevitable accident?
Not regardless, in his first interrogation, the defendant was asked where the Dodge was carried, and he replied that he did not know where it was: "I don't know, I left it in Yattir and walked." When asked by the interrogator to explain why he left the Dodge in Yatir, he gave a vague answer: "Because I heard that a person was killed and I went crazy" (P/24, p. 6). In his cross-examination in court, he was asked to explain the above, and did not provide any explanation: "I don't remember now" (p. 326). This conduct, in which the defendant refuses to share with the police the existence of the vehicle in which he ran over the deceased, is consistent with the fact that he has something to hide, and in any event, does not correspond to the behavior of a person who claims to have an inevitable accident.
