Military appeals court reading its ruling in Azaria case
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe judges of the military appeals court hearing the two appeals in the Elor Azaria manslaughter case are delivering their verdict in the appeals of both the defendant, Sgt. Azaria, and the military prosecution.
Azaria was convicted on January 4 of manslaughter in the shooting death of a wounded Palestinian stabber, Abdel Fattah al-Sharif, in March 2016 after the latter had stabbed and lightly wounded an IDF soldier. His attorneys are appealing the conviction.
He was sentenced to 18 months in prison. The military prosecution is appealing what they call the relatively light sentence.
