Ifet Feraget, lawyer who is representing the Memić family, said after the hearing today that "it is better to sometimes defend a man with silence".
- You are putting yourself in a very awkward situation. You retaliate - said Feraget.
Asked to comment on Barić's actions, Feraget said:
- Isn't it a bit strange that someone reports Josip Barić based on giving two diametrically opposite statements, and at the same time that chief prosecutor tells me and father that "it was a fight that escalated. He did not want to kill him. " So if Barić gave the first statement on the 9th of February, it was an official note, and the second on the 10th of March, when he was examined as a witness.The first time he said the car hit them at high speed. So that would go around if it was a car accident. Dalida Burzić on March 7th, here are very important details, and I like the details, she brings an order to conduct an investigation into the crime of murder, and Barić on March 10th in some ways supports that order and says "besides being hit by a car, she told me that someone might have attacked them hidden from a tree." So you have a man assisting you in the murder investigation, and you are reporting him, after you opened the murder investigation before his statement. Therefore, it is not very logical. That is why Dalida Burzić must be held responsible. Josip Barić is a police officer, said prosecutor Dubravko Čampara, who had an order to remove the bloody T-shirt. He did not exclude her - said Feraget and added:
- You heard, I don't know if it was some recklessness, how we have a case in the Cantonal Court according to the indictment of the Cantonal Prosecutor's Office, from which the accused in this case are witnesses. And the witnesses in that case are indicted before this prosecution. Isn't that logical. So, if you filed a false indictment and Ljubo Seferović admitted something that didn't even happen, because Ljubo will definitely come next ... The accused and the suspects have the right to lie, to defend themselves with silence, but they have no right to take responsibility for something which they did not do in a way to help prevent the murder from being discovered. He can pronounce someone else's deed, murder and serve it - Feraget concluded.
