Tamara Tyasmara Surprised, Yudha Arfandi Appeals After 20-Year Prison Sentence

Kapanlagi.com - Tamara Tyasmara, a celebrity who is currently fighting for justice for her son, Dante, expressed her confusion upon hearing that Yudha Arfandi, the defendant in the murder case, has filed an appeal.

The 20-year prison sentence handed down by the East Jakarta District Court to Yudha is considered lighter than the prosecutor's demand for the death penalty.

Tamara's mother, Ristya Aryuni, who was also present in the hearing, reportedly cried hysterically after hearing the judge's decision. Tamara emphasized that her mother's reaction is natural because a grandmother surely has deep affection for her grandchild.
