Judges chosen to hear Azaria appeal
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleJudges are chosen to hear the appeal of an 18-month sentence handed down last month to Elor Azaria, convicted of killing a wounded Palestinian stabber.
Justice Doron Fleiss will head the court and be joined on the bench by justices Tigal Flitman and Tzvi Sefal.
Azaria, 21, was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 18 months for shooting dead Abed al-Fattah al-Sharif on March 24, 2016, minutes after Sharif and another man had carried out a stabbing attack against troops in Hebron, and as Sharif lay on the ground disarmed and wounded having been shot during the attack.
Both the prosecution and defense have appealed the sentence.
