Was defence evidence submitted in writing?
|
Yes |
Did defence witness(es) give evidence in person? Were they cross-examined? |
He was the only witness. Yes, yes. |

“No immediacy to justify your actions; we agree with your sincerity but we must uphold the law.” |
Please add anything else relevant.
