No ‘outside motive’ for witnesses to falsely accuse Azaria
The judges in the Elor Azaria case, who are now reading their rulings in two appeals over Azaria’s manslaughter conviction and 18-month prison sentence, reject the defense’s attempts to question the reliability of witnesses who served with Azaria in Hebron in March 2016.
While accepting the “problematic” aspects of parts of some witness testimony, especially aspects of the company commander’s testimony, the judges rule that “we have not found among any of the witnesses any outside motive to falsely accuse Azaria.”
