The case of the shooting to death in Juma Danfiri is closed. The family, we, the reporters accompanying the story, are all shocked by the obscene decision. South District Attorney Erez Padan said today in a meeting with Jamil, Juma'a's father, and attorney Avi Hami who accompanies him, that although the pathological report shows a dense cluster of three bullets in the back of his neck, he adopts the imaginary version of the shooter and his friends The standby class of harnesses for self-defense.
The scandalous decision does not stop the fight. It will only intensify.
"Erez says something like this: Jumea was indeed caught, handcuffed, he was on the floor," says Jamil. "The guy came, stood over him from behind. Jumaa tore off the handcuffs - it's a movie, we need to make a movie out of it - the guy asks him, 'What did you come here to do?'. He tells him: 'Come closer, I'll tell you what I came to do.'" And Maa takes a knife out of his jacket and he takes two steps back and shoots him. But two steps back, in the dark, you can't shoot the group you're shooting.
"And how much force does it take to tear off a handcuff like that? And the knife, Padan says, was not opened, but there is DNA on it from the outside. It must be after you closed his hand on it. The guy who shot took a picture of Jumaa and took a picture of the knife. He prepared everything and gave it to the police. And They accept this version. How does a man who sings have time to do all this? Nothing makes sense." It doesn't make sense, unless the first policemen who arrived on the scene helped to sew up the cover story, to rescue the good Jew from harnesses.
"From the moment the unit that investigated in the first days was an untrained unit - the cover-up was made possible," says Attorney Himi. "As soon as the police arrived at the scene and did not separate everyone who was at the incident. Imagine stabbings at a discotheque. Police arrive, isolate all the suspects from each other and interrogate, take a version. It's not what it was (in harness). The reconstruction is done only the next day, not under sterile conditions. A whole day they think, build themselves, at the beginning, near the event. That's how it looks. The cover-up was successful."
Hami also says: "There is no dispute that they say that he was on the ground and said to the man who was singing, 'Come, I will tell you exactly what I did' - and it was as if he pulled a pocketknife from his coat and he fired. Tales of a thousand nights and nights. They checked, handcuffed, and laid him on the floor. From where Did this knife suddenly arrive?". We will recall that in the initial version the knife was pulled from a trouser pocket, but then the boys who were with Juma'a testified that all three were stripped from their waists down.
We asked Himi what Pedan and his attorneys replied to the question of how a dense cluster in the rear reconciles with the shooter's story and with a claim of self-defense. "We asked questions, the answers are not satisfactory," he replied. "We will get the materials and become smarter." The next step is to appeal the decision to the state attorney's office. If it is rejected, a petition will be submitted to the High Court. "We will take all the investigation materials in the coming days and continue the fight," Jamil promises.
