The defendant Hendra Kurniawan heard the decision of the panel of judges against him for the case of obstructing the investigation into the death of Brigadier J, at the South Jakarta District Court, Monday (27/2/2023).
In the obstruction case, Brig. Gen. Hendra Kurniawan was sentenced to three years in prison, a heavier sentence than the other defendants. The judicial panel said his sentence took into account the convoluted narrative Hendra presented and the fact that he had shown no remorse.
Several defendants have filed appeals, including Sambo, who was sentenced to death by the judges at the South Jakarta District Court. Appeals are permitted under the Criminal Code Procedures (KUHAP). The legal process must be respected, but still monitored.
