Leifer lawyers confident court will reject conclusion that she can stand trial
Malka Leifer’s attorneys, Tal Gabbay and Yehuda Fried, say there is “no surprise” in the ruling by a panel of psychiatrists that Leifer is fit to stand trial, expressing confidence the the Jerusalem District Court will reject the finding.
“It is important to emphasize and remind that two previous opinions ruling that Leifer is feigning [mental illness] and is fit to stand trial were wholely rejected by the court after a discussion of the evidence. We expect that will be the case for this opinion as well,” the attorneys say.
