"We run the legal process well. We use the rights that are regulated in the Code of Criminal Procedure. So if asked if we are confident, yes of course we are optimistic, but we leave it to the judge who examines this case," Jefri asserted.

He emphasized that this pretrial is focused on testing the procedures for determining suspects, not getting into the substance of the case. His side wants to ensure whether the legal process conducted by the police investigators has been in accordance with the rules or not.

2. Focus on Going Through Each Stage of the Trial

"That is the authority of the examining judge, not our authority," he added wisely.

When asked about the next steps if this pretrial lawsuit is rejected, Jefri chose not to speculate. His team's focus right now is to go through each stage of the trial, which will be held in a marathon every day.

"I am not speculating. We just go through the legal process. Tomorrow is the continuation of the trial. The agenda includes several things that need to be completed," Jefri concluded.
