The defendant, who was being accused of committing the crime of frustrated homicide and bodily injury, will also have to pay 70 thousand kwanzas in court fees, as well as compensation to the injured party Olindio Ginga, in the amount of one million kwanzas, whose payment of this compensation can be done in installments.
According to judge counselor Anabela Valente, rapporteur of the case, cited by Angop, the court decreed suspension of the sentence due to "the personality that the defendant demonstrated by regretting the act committed and the fact that age is the best school in life".
"If five years ago he had that behavior in that circumstance, today with more maturity and life experience, he will certainly not commit the same act again", added the judge, as part of the reading of the ruling, which took place this Thursday.
The defendant's defense also spoke about the sentence, and was dissatisfied with the decision. According to lawyer Wilson Fernandes, cited by Angop, the deliberation was not as it should have been "because the court ignored certain situations such as the answer to the questions", adding that the court did not consider any question as proven or not proven, adding that the defense will evaluate the advantages and disadvantages and, subsequently, decide on the possibility of appealing.
According to a statement from the Supreme Court, to which VerAngola had access, the trial began on August 19, in a process that included five declarants.
The former prosecutor was accused of having fired "shots during an altercation with motorcycle taxi drivers, with one of the projectiles accidentally hitting the chest of a citizen who was leaning over the wall of the N'Dalatando youth home and who nothing had to do with the altercation between the defendant and the motorcycle taxi drivers", the facts of which date back to January 2019.
