Terrifying: Senior Judge Reveals, "The Israel Police Frames People" – The Persecution of Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

עורך ראשי
After we previously mentioned that everything happening around the legal system regarding the case of the Gaon and Tzaddik (righteous person) Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a (may he live long and good days) raises difficult questions, the following words have arrived, which are no longer in dispute. Judge Shelly Timan, who until recently was a very senior judge in the District Court in Israel, is speaking out and revealing secrets of the corruption within the State Attorney's Office and the police in the land.
"I retired from my work with a whole heart, because I felt I could no longer achieve justice. There are people languishing in prison, some awaiting their trial and not yet convicted, some languishing for no fault of their own." Thus Judge Shelly begins his words.
Listen to the interview on TV Channel 2: [audio mp3="https://www.shuvubanimint.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/שופט-בכיר-המשטרה-תופרת-תיקים.mp3"][/audio]
"Democracy needs to judge a person in a timely manner; look at all the cases waiting here for trial. I really tried, but I am truly no longer capable." Judge Timan laments all the people standing behind the many cases that lie waiting to be handled.
After acquitting two cases brought before him for trial, he aroused anger from the system that does not tolerate acquittals; these are his words. "The State Attorney's Office is full of ego, a desire to convict at any cost. There are failures of the police who do not do their job properly, driven by the ambition to achieve a conviction at any cost. People are imprisoned for their entire lives or for long periods."
If that weren't enough, Judge Shelly says, "The Israel Police frames people (fabricates cases). To my great sorrow. Media pressure severely affects the judges' considerations; lobbies and the media determine the fate of the defendants. To my great sorrow, there are judges who do not know the word—acquittal."
