Special Dismiss the request for attorney to witness Foja

Feet at the beginning of the hearing sought a lawyer, claiming to have felt misused, reports the “Justice Trust”.

According to the chairman of the court, Charles Smith III, no claim has been made that the witness committed a crime and that he has not responded in any form to incriminating himself.

Mr. Foys, I understand you talked to the Administrative Office and you expressed your concerns. We understand your concerns now I will somehow respond to your claims. To appoint a lawyer, we for the witness have to have good reason that the witness thinks he's incriminating himself and thinks he's being accused of being the perpetrators of a crime. This is not our case. At no time has any claim been made, you're an honorable person. No one has claimed that you committed a crime or that you have responded in any form that you have incriminated in any form”, the chairman of the court said.

As a result, the judge informed the witness that his request for a lawyer has been dropped.

Also, you've been worried about the judges' questions, according to our regulations, judges can ask questions to witnesses during the trial. You're just here to tell the truth, to answer questions as much as you can. We understand this situation is stressful and we appreciate the fact that you're here and that you're doing the impossible. We'll continue. We've got some more questions and we hope we'll finish as soon as possible so you can leave. So, your request for a lawyer right now goes down, Charles Smith III said.

Then, with questions for the witness, Judge Guénawel Mettraux continued, who presented the witness with a document in which he said Fatmir Limaj said he asked a prosecutor to start criminal investigations.

I asked you to save me from these issues because first for me this document is not valid and does not have the signature of the person you're talking about, so it's a suspicious document to me. I can't be promoted to this issue that I don't have knowledge and I just don't know what the legal base was called and the document was, and, respectively, the regulation we're talking about didn't come up with and I don't know if it's exactly”, the witness said.
