Hebron shooter’s lawyer claims army conspired to convict his client
Defense attorney Yoram Sheftel says his client’s battalion and brigade commanders Col. Guy Hazut and Lt. Col. David Shapira “didn’t speak truth” in their testimonies.
When asked by Judge Tzvi Segal why the officers would do such a thing, Sheftel says they did it in order to square their testimonies with the claims of the chief of staff, who decried Azaria’s actions.
Sheftel is quickly corrected by the judges and prosecution that IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot made his statement after the battalion and brigade commanders testified.
