COUNSELORS
PRESIDING JUDGE, PANEL MEMBER JUDGES
Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated.
PROSECUTOR
Very well.
The trial held here in Jakarta for the defendant, Mr. Ari Wibawa,
is now declared in session and is open to the public.
The defendant may now sit in the defendant's chair.
Prosecutor, please state the charge.
Thank you, Your Honor.
Mr. Ari Wibawa, the defendant, has committed violence
by hitting Mr. Jupri,
which violates Article 351, Point 1, in the KUHP
regarding acts of violence to others.
The charge has hereby been stated.
-Thank you. -Okay.
Now, please state whether you have understood
the charge that was read out by the prosecutor.
Mr. Defendant.
Mas Ari!
Mr. Defendant!
Very well.
Let us hear what the counselors have to say.
Thank you, Your Honor.
As the counselors of the defendant,
we find that the charge stated by the prosecutor
is not comprehensive or specific.
Thus, we appeal to reject and even nullify the prosecutor's charge.
Yours sincerely, Adam Suseno, LLB, LLM. Thank you.
Very well.
Mr. Prosecutor, do you have any response to the stated exception?
I do, Your Honor.
We request to reject the exception, not to mention the rebuttal,
put forth by the counselors.
We stand by our previous charge.
All right.
The prosecutor stands by his charge
and the counselors maintain their objection.
Therefore, the panel of judges will discuss this
and ask the attendees to please step out of the courtroom.
The court is hence adjourned.
Thank you.
Very well.
The court will be commenced with an interlocutory decision.
The objection from the counselors of the defendant, Mr. Ari Wibawa...
is rejected.
Yes, I'm still on my way to pick up Ms. Maura.
2 WEEKS AGO
What is it, Mas?
Please go to the laundry afterward, okay?
-To the laund... -Please pick up my suit and shirt.
Okay.
Then, buy some printer ink and markers from the store.
Yes.
Then go to the pharmacy to buy medicine for a sinus infection.
Then pick up the files from Mr. Broto's house in Jl. Menteng Raya.
Menteng Raya. Okay, Mas.
I'll record it in case I forget.
Go to the laundry to pick up a suit and a shirt.
Then, purchase a bottle of printer ink
and a marker from the store.
Then, go to the pharmacy to buy medicine for a sinus infection.
Then, pick up a document from Mr. Broto's house in Jl. Menteng Raya.
My God, what's happening?
-Help! Help! -What happened?
Daddy, so how is Mas Ari?
That's what I'm worrying about.
To my knowledge, Aswin Tarigan, the prosecutor,
has never lost a case in any trial he's involved in.
Do you know the prosecutor?
We have the same alma mater.
He's always been competitive. He'll never admit defeat.
You have to stay confident that you can win this.
How will you win this?
Dod.
I'll tell you what.
Why don't you go back to the scene of the incident tomorrow?
We might get a witness who's willing to testify.
We might as well try to find a clue
that we can use as evidence.
-All right. -Okay.
Maura, will you accompany me?
Okay, then.
Maura will go with Dodi, and Inul...
Yes?
...you will be by my side in the courtroom.
For Mas Ari's sake,
I will give my all to ensure his freedom
because we're his family too.
But anyway, this effort will need some money.
You're unbelievable, Dodi!
You always talk about money.
Well, we can only try. Who knows? He might give me some money.
Your Honor, I was walking to my girlfriend's house.
Then, he and his accomplices suddenly intercepted me.
For what reason?
He thought I was the one who hit one of his relatives.
I'm a nice person!
Then he just started hitting me. Here, look at the bruise.
That's a lie!
-You're lying about me! -Please be quiet!
This is the victim's visum et repertum
from after he was assaulted by the perpetrator.
Correct, sir.
He hit me so hard that I was afraid I'd gotten a concussion.
That's why I went to the hospital immediately.
Very well. If there is any response from the counselors, please speak.
According to your statement,
there were five persons who assaulted you.
Yes, sir.
But are you positive that the defendant was the only person who hit you?
I'm certain, sir.
He hit me like a truck. It was terrifying, sir!
GRILLED CHILI SAUCE LEVEL ONE TO LEVEL NETIZEN
-This is the place? -Yes, Uncle.
That's where it happened.
And?
There was someone who saw what happened,
but I'm not sure if they live here or not.
I'm not sure.
Okay, let's ask around to dig up some more info.
-Someone might have seen it. -Okay.
Let's start there.
Witness.
Did you see the person who did the hitting?
Sure, I did!
That's the guy!
There.
The one with the mustache!
I didn't see you there.
Defendant,
you'd better be silent when it's not your turn to speak.
You never understand, do you?
-He's the one, Your Honor! -Yes, Your Honor!
-Put him in jail! -Yes!
Everyone, please be quiet!
The trial is adjourned for 15 minutes.
Mister, I would like to ask something.
Did you know anyone who witnessed the assault which happened recently here?
Yes, there were two persons who saw it clearly.
One of them was summoned to the trial.
-What about the other one? -The other is Ms. Kartika.
Ms. Kartika runs a stall over there.
But it looks closed. Ms. Kartika hasn't come yet.
Okay, then. Thank you very much.
-You're welcome. -Thank you.
Let's go.
I'm scared.
-I don't want to go to jail. -I understand.
Rest assured, we will do our best.
So that you can be free soon. Okay?
Don't be so gloomy. Keep your head high, okay?
Yes. It's just that I've not had enough sleep.
Sleeping here is not comfy.
Not comfy because no bolster?
Here, your favorite bolster.
Thank you, Miss Inul.
Mas Ari.
Can I ask something?
Prior to the incident, you were told to pick up some files, right?
Where did you put them?
I can't remember.
You can check the recording on my phone.
Because Mas Adam gave me a list of errands.
Just in case I forgot any, I recorded the list on my phone.
And where do you keep your phone?
I think near the car radio.
Okay.
It's all right. Miss Inul can look for it.
Yes.
Your Honor,
let us see the recorded CCTV here.
Allow me to present this flash drive.
Yes, please.
Mr. Presiding Judge, permission to approach?
Yes, please do.
Thank you.
This is a strong piece of evidence.
Pay attention to the detail.
This is not just an assault, but a violent assault.
Inhumane and immoral.
I did not hit him, I swear!
Once again, I will ask the defendant to be silent.
This is solid, yes?
Come on, Dam.
What were you doing in the scene?
I have a coffee shop nearby, sir.
And I saw that that person
did hit the person as seen in the CCTV footage.
Why are you looking for me?
Speaking of the devil.
"When horses are giving birth and goats are giving milk,
when you care about me, make me your in-law."
What are you saying, Uncle?
Ma'am, I'd like to ask you this.
On November 16th, 2023,
did you see a group assault in this place?
Yes, I did see it. But...
