They were expecting jail, but they will be free for some time

The complication occurred when on Tuesday, before the end of the trial, the prosecutor Matej Peterca slightly modified the indictment for the main protagonist Miloš Grm, who is otherwise accused of three criminal offenses of violence and causing grievous bodily harm. The prosecutor opted for such a maneuver because an expert hired at the request of the defense found that the serious bodily injury to Grm was caused by significantly reduced mental capacity, while the expert did not officially establish the situation for the violent crimes he had committed earlier. Prosecutor Peterc changed the indictment so that Miloš Grm also committed the criminal offenses of violence in a state of significantly reduced mental capacity, for which the Senate of Katarina Gabrijel Muhič did not find a basis in the case file. The judges therefore decided to resume the trial on February 11, and until then the expert will supplement the opinion on the defendant’s fitness at the time when he allegedly committed the crimes of violence.

Defense: decision to the detriment of Grm and in favor of the prosecutor

Bush Advocate Bojan Celar objected to such an outcome, saying that the court already in December last year acquainted with the entire documentation of the expert, and the prosecution filed a modified indictment in the file at the last hearing “or before the court itself decided to can start with the final words “. “It was clear to the court at the time of the modification that it was an error of the prosecution and then, by asking the plaintiff whether the modification also applied to the first offenses or only to the allegation of grievous bodily harm, but she insisted. I am convinced that the court did not come to this question only after consulting what sanction to adopt. Therefore, there is no basis for the article cited by the court, which states that the main hearing may be reopened if the court finds a certain fact during the consultation, ” He emphasized that the Senate should acquit the accused in this part if there is no evidence in the case file, and pointed out that the new start of the trial was to the detriment of his client, the prosecutor. and the opportunity to correct the mistake.

From detention I would go shopping for Miklavž

For Miloš Grm, prosecutor Peterc demanded a uniform sentence of 3 years and 8 months in prison, for Miloš Kovačič (three charges of violence) a uniform sentence of 2 years and 4 months in prison, for Niko Šarkezi (two charges of violence) one year and 9 months of uniform imprisonment, for Nastja Grm one year (two allegations of violence) and 2 months of uniform imprisonment, and for Tatjana Grm (allegation of violence) 8 months of conditional imprisonment with a probation period of two years. but Robert Bartol (allegation of causing general danger), who drove his car into a beating crowd and killed Tatjana Grm and two random Slovenes, was not charged by the prosecutor, as the accused was temporarily excluded from the proceedings on suspicion of covid-19 infection. . Everyone except Tatjana Grm has been punished in the past. Today, the judge also rejected the proposal to lift house arrest (the others are defending their freedom) to Miloš Grm, who demanded that he be able to take his several-month-old child to the doctor. As she explained to him, in such cases she can justifiably request a request and she will grant it, but she cannot ask her to let him shop from detention “to Leclerc or Supernova or wherever” . “It was only for Nicholas,” explained the bush advocate Celar.
