Transcarpathia case: On August 11, the Transcarpathian Court of Appeal held the first hearing to consider the appeals of the defendants and their lawyers in the case of group violence against a teenager.
Recall: On February 7, 2025, the court of first instance found the three defendants guilty and sentenced each to 6 years in prison with immediate detention in the courtroom.
Today, the Court of Appeal announced the contents of the appeals filed by the defendants’ lawyers. They are trying to question the verdict and have it overturned.
Prosecutors and representatives of the victim opposed the appeals, stating that the verdict was legally correct and fair, and that the defense’s arguments did not reflect the actual events. After that, the court adjourned.
Next meeting: October 13, 2:00 PM
Transcarpathian Court of Appeal, city Uzhhorod, st. Dovzhenko, 7
This case is a test not only for the justice system, but also for society. We continue to fight so that no attempt to nullify the verdict or avoid responsibility goes unheeded.
The following are working on the case: Miller lawyers Natalia Baranova, Ilya Vorobyov, junior associate Andriy Balytsky, and lawyers Roxolyana Gera and Marta Zmysla.
