The testimony of the soldier Elor Azaria who shot dead a terrorist who was lying on the ground, already neutralized, begins Sunday morning in military court in Jaffa. Azaria will answer questions from his own attorneys, and then from the military prosecutor, one of Israel’s top criminal litigators, who was conscripted by the army to improve its chances of getting a conviction.
Last week the prosecution completed presenting its own witnesses, including senior officers, military police investigators, enlisted men and women and NGO B’Tselem cameramen.
