The convict has already served half his sentence; In all, he was sentenced to ten years in prison for murder in 2013.

The court noted that the convict is not working in a correctional facility, has consumed alcohol twice in a correctional facility and has been serving his sentence since 2017, but began participating in specific measures aimed at preventing alcohol consumption only in 2020.

The court evaluated the convict’s belief that he would not consume alcohol in the future and that he could control his habits as frivolous.

“It shows that you do not properly understand the importance of the problem of violent behavior related to alcohol consumption,” reads the ruling of the Vilnius Regional Court judge, Eglė Gruodienė.

V. Trakanavičius shot Arnoldas Jurašiai, an Alytus County police officer on vacation, in December 2013, drunk with a gun in legal possession. Without any excuse, he framed the pistol on the seated man’s seat and fired once. This soon died on the scene.

In June, the Correctional Institution Parole Release Institution decided not to apply the correctional institution parole to the convict. V. Trakanavičius wrote a complaint to the Vilnius City District Court. However, this decision did not modify the sentence of the convict so far.

The convict then wrote a complaint to the Vilnius Regional Court. He also rejected the complaint.

Judge E. Gruodienė ruled that the risk of repeated criminal conduct of the convicted V. Trakanavičius remains low, but the dynamic criminogenic factors that compose it, the removal of which is essential to assess his progress, have not changed.

According to the court, this is also reflected in the assessment of the risk of recidivism, which has been reduced by just one point in recent years to 38 out of 168 possible, of which 7 are for static and 31 for dynamic.

The judge also highlighted the difficult economic situation of the convicted person and his bad education. According to the court ruling, V. Trakanavičius was sentenced to more than 91 thousand. euros in damages. According to the debt collection arrangements, his debt exceeds 48,000. but the convicted person does not work while serving the sentence. As a result, your debts are poorly covered and your financial situation does not improve.

According to the court, the convicted person only has a basic education and does not have professional qualifications, so there is a risk that while he is at liberty he will not enter the labor market and seek to earn a living illegally.

“He has been convicted of property crimes in the past, and an underestimation of the consequences of his behavior remains a relevant criminogenic factor to this day,” the court notes.

The judgment of the Vilnius Regional Court is not subject to appeal.

The convict admitted part of the guilt by alleging that the victim had asked to be shown the weapon and, firmly convinced that the weapon was unloaded, held the handle directly towards the victim. Taking the latter, the gun fired. How it happened, you can not imagine, he secures the ammunition without placing a weapon himself.

V. Trakanavičius has previously been convicted of theft and fraud. The man who shot is a patrol from the Highway Patrol Division of the Highway Police Division of the Alytus County Sheriff’s Office, who was on vacation at the time.
