Main Inquiry
- The witness, who is divorced and the mother of a child with autism, was looking for an apartment and read on Facebook about the defendants who help women with sick children. She contacted the defendants, and they helped her. She lived with them for about 4.5 years, starting in July 2017 (pp. 569-571).
Cross-examination
- When asked what amount she paid for rent, she replied that according to the contract, she was NIS 4,500, but in practice she was unable to pay this amount and paid varying amounts, when during the corona period she did not pay at all for three months. She paid NIS 2,000 or NIS 2,500, in cash (p. 573). She lived in the basement floor (p. 575). When asked if she was sure that she had lived in the basement since July 2017, because others lived there at the time, she replied that she did not remember and that there was a contract in the matter (p. 575). She denied the claim that other people lived there at the time (p. 576).
