First, both the Karawang District Attorney and the West Java High Court did not have a sense of crisis or sensitivity.
Second, the public prosecutor did not understand the guideline Number 3/2019 concerning Criminal Prosecutions for General Crimes.
Third, the public prosecutor at the Karawang District Attorney had postponed the reading of criminal charges four times, with the excuse provided to the panel of judges being that the proposed lawsuit had not been approved by the West Java Prosecutor's Office.
In fact, the proposed lawsuit, submitted on October 28, was received by the West Java Prosecutor's Office on October 29.
"Approval for criminal charges was dropped by the West Java Prosecutor's Office through a phone note on November 3. But the reading of the criminal charges by the public prosecutor was on November 11," said Leonard.
The fourth finding is that the public prosecutor did not follow Guidelines Number 1/2021 concerning Access to Justice for Women and Children in Criminal Cases.
Finally, the public prosecutor did not follow the seven Daily Orders of the Attorney General, which are the norm in handling cases.
"This can be interpreted as not carrying out the leadership's orders," said Leonard. (cuy/mcr20/jpnn)
