“My nerves are on edge. The investigator promised house arrest if I admitted guilt. But nothing changed; he didn’t come to court at all. And before that, there was a lawyer appointed, I will never forget his phrase: “Act as your heart tells you.” This is all a mockery,” Dozhd quotes Maslyaeva as saying.
