Judge begins reading sentencing decision
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe judge begins reading the sentencing. It’s not clear if, like the verdict, she will take several hours reading out the decision before getting to the bottom line.
She begins by going over the basic facts of the case and of Azaria’s upbringing.
She says the sentence needs to match the crime. Judges spoke to soldiers, commanders, and mental health officers, she says. Azaria’s father told the court about how his son respected human rights and helped the needy, and fought to join a combat unit to serve the country.
