Lawyer slams AG’s ‘bizarre’ decision to drop Pakada case
The lawyer representing IDF soldier Damas Pakada slams the attorney general’s decision to drop the case against the cop who assaulted Pakada.
“This is a bizarre decision, full of internal contradictions which are not in line with the truth,” Eyal Abulafiya says, according to the Walla news website.
“The attorney general claims that Damas struck the cop first, and contradicts this later in his decision. Does the attorney general think the public is stupid or blind? Did he see a different video? It seems he tried to reach a solution that would appease the police,” he says.
Abulafiya vows to appeal the decision and bring the cop — who has not been named — to justice.
