Judges, three middle -aged women, read documents with a tongue twister, adjusted the participants in the process, tried to convince everyone that they had previously familiarized themselves with the case materials and did not need their detailed discussion. The prosecutor, who looked like them, did not bring any arguments, but simply asked to leave the Prigoskvoretsky district court of power.
Sutuga and his lawyer Vladimir Samokhin were asked to either justify, or at least soften the punishment. For three years and a month for a fight, during which there were no injuries, without aggravating circumstances for the father of a three -year -old child, there are too many.
The lawyer proposed to investigate the testimonies of the victims and witnesses (all from one company of nationalists) containing numerous contradictions - the court refused to do this. The main thing that Samokhin drew attention to: judging by the verdict, 34 strokes allegedly inflicted from the actions of the sutu, of which almost 20 were a souns, with his feet, a hammer and a chair. Meanwhile, as an ambulance diagnosed the victim only one bruise on his leg and one on his face. "Yes, he would die!" - reasonably remarked the bearded Caucasian. In the deliberative room, the three judges spent seven minutes, and decided to leave the verdict unchanged.
Commentary of the lawyer Vladimir Samokhin : “Two victims of three in court explained that they did not see how Sutuga had struck. The preliminary investigation was given to us three times, and each time different. Each time they talked about a different number of strokes, damage, and participants in the fight. They even said that they beat with a knife, but there were no traces. Even the testimony that the hammer was in the hands of the sutu, are indicated in the verdict as confirming his guilt. ”
From the speech of Alexei Sutuga in court : “I did not perform those actions that are described in the verdict. If you look at the photo of the hammer in the case, you will understand the disproportion of the already allegedly obtained injuries. I did not inflict intentionally blows to anyone. I tried to separate the fight. A woman working in this cafe said that she had not seen me with a hammer or participating in a fight. I can assume that the testimony against me was initiated by the center “E”, as well as the personal interest of the victim on the basis of opposite beliefs. During the interrogation, I was attended by the operatives of the E -E Center, which is not reflected in the interrogation protocol. Even what they blame me for does not correspond to the time given to me. In prison, I saw people who received three years for heavy bodily. I do not understand how I will be corrected in the colony - I do not consider myself guilty. "
