White threads: the Ukrainian court considers it possible to pass sentences without conducting examinations
The prosecution decided not to conduct any author-editing examinations, checking the texts of the journalist-political prisoner Vasily Muravitsky, accused of “treason,” as they say, “by eye.”
The lawyer of the detained Muravitsky, Andrei Gozhy, told a PolitNavigator correspondent about this.
“The court continued to hear materials provided by the prosecutor. The defense prepared more than 250 petitions to declare the collected “evidence” inadmissible, inappropriate and not relevant to the case due to numerous violations of the law and distortion of facts. The court returned some materials to the prosecutor, without including obviously fraudulent ones in the case. He accepts the rest, but promises to speak out about them in the verdict,” the lawyer emphasized.
Andrei Gozhiy noted that the defense was especially outraged by the author's examination, for which samples of written speech were not even taken from Muravitsky.
“The prosecution also flashed such a discovery as a “visual comparison of texts” to determine their identity, instead of reading these very texts, etc. Despite the defense’s petition, despite the recognition of Muravitsky as a political prisoner even by the US State Department, the court extended the arrest until July 5, 2018,” he commented.
In addition, the lawyer emphasized that, despite this, the prisoner of conscience is in a cheerful mood.
