According to B."As the defendant, everything is documented in a document prepared by the expert on behalf of the defense from the liquidation stage.
The accuser claimed in this regard that, the defense expert determined that the module was damaged by the accident and could be from life-saving rescue operations at the scene or from exposure to weather damage.
The accuser further claimed, because she does not agree that this is an expert on behalf of the defense.
II"The defendant claimed that the accuser summoned the expert on behalf of the defense, as a witness on her behalf, and as evidence, he presented an indictment in the case of negligent homicide, in which the defense expert appears as a prosecution witness.
II"The defendant insisted on this, because he claims visual damage.  The accuser accordingly requested that the expert on behalf of the defense testify.

The Haganah Affair
Defense Witness No. 1 - Defendant - Shai Hadad:
In his main interrogation, the defendant testified regarding the occurrence of the accident that:
"I took my children back to the city of Holon to their mother's house at the end of the Passover holiday, I made my way on the Lachish road in the direction of Amatzia, the weather was windy and rainy, I was alone on the lane, there was no car behind me or in front of me, when I was driving on this section of the road, suddenly a car appeared in front of me whose lights I could only see until the moment of the collision I was in my lane alone in the direction of my travel.
Next thing I remember, that I woke up in the hospital after surgery and my spleen was removed, I had liver damage, and later I suffered mental disorders and physical and mental damage, and I am being treated accordingly." (See his testimony of April 1,2025, p.  96, paras.  18-23).

The defendant was asked to tell us about the police interrogation and according to himHe was asked about the circumstances of the incident, the vehicle's health, the condition of the road, lights, but he does not memorize the entire interrogation.
When the defendant is told that there are witnesses who say that he swerved from the lane, he testified that this is not true.
The defendant testified, that he came for a second interrogation almost a year after the accident.  When asked what was hurled at him during the interrogation, he testified:
"I was hurled at the testimony of a witness who claims that he saw 3 deviations that I hear it doesn't fit with reality, it's not true, I go out to understand what I was told about the witness's testimony, I find that there is no such possibility in terms of the route of the area, I photograph the incident and the trip, to prove that there is no physical ability on the ground to see what the witness claims and what was hurled at me in the second interrogation.
I go back to the police and ask to provide photographs and a letter that shows that there is no possibility that a witness saw me deviate 3 times, the examiner also notes that the Sabra of the flower (Z.L.  - THE FRIED - A.H.B.) and says that there is no such feasibility in terms of the route of the road and the reality.
On the same day, I go back to the date of the second interrogation, asking me to hand over the videos and this statement that what they accused me of cannot be, which is simply not true.  They refuse to take this testimony from me that day.
The next day, they make excuses and accept the statement and the videos (P/26 P/27)." (See his testimony of April 1,2025, p.  97, paras.  3-13).
