Azaria ruling: No proof chief of staff’s comments affected the trial
Appeals judges reject the defense’s claims that the comments in March 2016 by IDF chief of staff Lt. Gen. Gadi Eisenkot, who spoke out against the shooting of the incapacitated Palestinian assailant, affected the trial.
“The defense was unable to prove that the comments by the chief of staff after the incident had any influence over the [judicial] process,” the judges say in their ruling on the appeals by both the defense and prosecution.
