Prosecutors to appeal house arrest for teen in murder of Palestinian woman
The State Prosecutor’s Office announces it will appeal a court’s decision to release to house arrest the teen charged with murdering a Palestinian woman.
The announcement comes hours after the Lod District Court handed down its ruling and gave the prosecution until tomorrow to appeal.
During that hearing, the defense presented a legal opinion in which the chief pathologist at the National Center of Forensic Medicine at Abu Kabir cast doubt on the state’s version of the events that led to Aisha Rabi’s death in October, as he argued that the stone the suspect is charged with having hurled at Rabi’s car may not have been what killed her.
