The second prosecutor entered the case today, and the defense of the accused asked for a challenge, the judge did not satisfy the motion. We studied evidence of bullying during trial. When it came to hearing of arguments, one of the state prosecutors asked to acquit the abuser. He motivated this by the fact that themarried couple had only verbal skirmishes. The second state prosecutor asked for imprisonment for four years,» Rustam Abduraufov said.
