In the case of the mother acquitted in the accident, the prosecutor’s legal shot



[ad_1]

On the prosecutor’s appeal 15 minutes I saw at least 5 sets of storylines that could perhaps lead to another sensational twist in this changing and socially exciting story.

Excuses calls for destruction

The fictional criminal and social family drama, but above all personal, which has been going on for more than 6 years since the fateful November 1, 2014, will inevitably have a sequel also in 2021.

The prosecution continues to propose to impose at least two years in prison, postponing the execution of the sentence, namely, the acquitted J. Jankauskiene.

The appeal of the Alytus Prosecutor’s Office against the Varėna Court on December 1 has already reached the Kaunas Regional Court. a conviction for which the driver Jurgita Jankauskienė was acquitted in a criminal case related to an accident that took the life of her young son.

The Court of First Instance not only lacked sufficient evidence to admit the fault of the driver of the Toyota Avensis, but also raised doubts about the liability of another driver of the Audi Q7 SUV. Prosecutors ordered prosecutors to determine whether it was a criminal offense after judges issued a special order.

However, state prosecutors continue to work at their own discretion, within 20 days prior to the entry into force of the acquittal, to argue why J. Jankauskienė should be convicted and, at the same time, the capital businessman, son of an influential Alytus personality who drove Audi, he was finally left alone.

Simona Snitkaitė-Kareivienė, Chief Specialist of the Communications Division of the Attorney General’s Office of the Republic of Lithuania (Kaunas) 15 minutes The prosecutor’s office added that the verdict of the Varėna court mentions that such an additional ruling will be sent to the Alytus prosecutors in the event of a judgment.

An appeal was submitted to the Kaunas Court, where it will be heard by a panel of 3 judges, before the Alytus District Attorney’s Office of the Kaunas Regional Prosecutor’s Office. The prosecutor Regina Juškevičienė, who is overseeing the case, wrote her impeachment arguments in a 7.5 page document.

“The acquittal of the court must be annulled because the conclusions of the court do not correspond to the factual circumstances of the case”, is established in a strict and categorical way in the appeal, which sets out the arguments. 15 minutes conditionally divided into five groups.

  1. Overrated private expert, underrated 5 state exams;
  2. The defendant’s diligence on the road is questionable;
  3. Minor Audi driver injuries;
  4. The witnesses misled the court with overly emotional narratives;
  5. A former police officer glorified by his citizenship, he failed to fulfill his direct duties.

From the point of view of the Prosecutor’s Office, in this case the court did not comply with the rules of the Criminal Procedure Code that regulate the assessment of the evidence collected in the case and this led to incorrect conclusions about the guilt of J. Jankauskienė, more precisely , innocence.

  • The traffic accident that drastically changed the fate of the Jankauskas family occurred during All Saints’ Day 2014. The police recorded the incident in the summary as follows: On November 1, at approximately 12:40, Varėna district , Valkininkai sen., In the first kilometer of the road Naujieji Valkininkai – Daugai – Alytus, JV, living in the district of Vilnius, the Audi Q7 did not miss a Toyota Avensis car driving in the same direction and turning left, driven by J. Jankauskienė from Vilnius. A decade-old Toyota passenger died in an accident.
  • The powerful and luxurious Audi (155 kW) was driven by a wealthy businessman from the capital county, whose father is called an influential person with important connections in Alytus, who recently held a senior position in a large company.
  • Arūnas Puodys, the former head of the Varėna Police Department, testified in court that the 10-year-old daughter, who lost her mother in an accident, was charged with crimes. Following this sensational testimony, the Immunity Service had launched an urgent investigation, but during it the investigators were unable to find evidence of the circumstances alleged by A. Puodis.
  • The Audi driver attended the girl’s funeral and personally expressed her condolences to her parents. He did not contribute financially to the funeral. Without becoming a defendant, the employer did not become a victim in this accident case, so he does not ask the defendant for anything. However, his vehicle’s insurance company filed a claim with Jankauskas for damages for the crashed Audi SUV before the court ended.
  • The situation in court is legally correct, but humanly paradoxical. The prosecution that supports the state accusation against J. Jankauskienė also defends the interests of V. Jankauskas as a victim. At that moment, V. Jankauskas, formally seated with the prosecutor in a boat, paddles in the opposite direction: he protects his wife from the accusations.
  • There have been many forensic examinations in the case, including complex ones, but there is still no clarity and unified vision from the specialists on this traffic accident.
  • The court of first instance acquitted J. Jankauskienė, but after the prosecution filed the complaint, the verdict has not yet entered into force.

‘One of the requirements for a proper evaluation of the evidence is that the case must be evaluated individually and as a whole, combining all the relevant facts into a logical whole, and only then can summary conclusions be drawn, which must be unequivocal, precise and logical. It must be concluded that the court, having examined the evidence gathered in the case, evaluated it incorrectly, unilaterally, the conclusions do not correspond to the circumstances, the sentence must be annulled, a new sentence must be accepted, “writes the state prosecutor.
