INDONESIAUPDATES.COM, News En – The Attorney General’s Office has confirmed it will appeal the controversial acquittal of Gregorius Ronald Tannur (31), the son of a DPR member, who is suspected of assaulting his girlfriend, Dini Sera Afrianti (29), leading to her death.
Harli Siregar, Head of the Attorney General’s Office’s Legal Information Center (Kapuspenkum), stated that the cassation was being filed because the judge’s decision did not consider the facts presented at trial and seemed to be based solely on personal judgment.
“We will immediately file an appeal to the Supreme Court. We are currently preparing the necessary administration as we have a 14-day window after the verdict,” said Harli Siregar at the AGO in South Jakarta on Friday, July 26, 2024.
Harli mentioned that they are still awaiting a copy of the court’s decision for further review. “We are waiting for a full copy from the court to examine the considerations made in the decision,” he added.
Previously, during the trial at the Surabaya District Court on Wednesday, July 24, 2024, Chief Justice Erintuah Damanik acquitted Gregorius Ronald Tannur of all charges. The judge concluded that the defendant was not proven, either legally or convincingly, to have committed murder or assault leading to the victim’s death. The judge also noted that Ronald had attempted to help the victim by taking her to the hospital.
The acquittal has sparked significant public outcry, with many questioning the fairness and integrity of the judicial process. The Attorney General’s Office’s decision to appeal the verdict is seen as a move to ensure that justice is properly served. The case continues to be closely watched by the public, as it unfolds in the higher courts.
