Friday morning, Prosecution (OM) continues their reply to defense requests for additional investigations to complete the dossier before moving to the merits phase in spring 2021. OM starts with argument that a BUK shoots down a plane and that intent only sees to what and not why.
OM: The "why" question is relevant for next of kin and OM wants to find out as well, but is not a criterion to assess whether additional investigations are "necessary" to complete dossier. Solely wanting to know something is not a successful criterion and needs to be motivated.
OM: invoking the criminal law justification ground of "self-defense" will not be successful in this case (also not self defense against self defense) and so investigation requests relating to this scenario are irrelevant. OM will argue that almost all requests should be dismissed
