“Therefore, thank God, if the prosecutor’s office does not make an appeal. This is also our hope, even though it is actually the prosecutor’s right,” he continued.
The Junior Prosecutor for General Crimes (Jampidum) of the Attorney General’s Office, Fadil Zumhana, explained that the reason they did not file an appeal was because Yosua’s family had willingly accepted the verdict.
“That the victim’s family, Mrs. Yosua and Mr. Yosua and their relatives, I see developments starting from the trial process until the end of yesterday’s decision by Richard Eliezer Pudihang Lumiu, an attitude of forgiveness based on sincerity,” said Fadil.
