PİŞKİN DEFENSE: ‘WHY ARE THEY COMING TO ME SO MUCH?’

The lawyers of the complainant stated that action was taken against the defendant because he had been beaten twice before. Lawyers defending that the accused did so deliberately and with a monstrous feeling, because he took precautions to prevent the victim from leaking urine, threw his belongings in different places, left his mobile phone at the gas station and went to bury it, and did so by choosing places where there was no camera, “We want the accused to be punished in the most severe way. We also demand that no reduction in discretion be applied.” they used the phrase.
