Kapanlagi.com - The appeal filed by Vadel Badjideh is not without reason. His lawyer, Oya Abdul Malik, revealed several irregularities that he believes were ignored by the panel of judges. One crucial point is regarding the timeline of the pregnancy until the abortion performed by Laura Meizani alias Lolly.
According to Oya, the trial facts read by the judges themselves actually show a significant discrepancy in timing. He highlighted the statement of the forensic expert presented by the Public Prosecutor (JPU) which stated that the age of the fetus at the time of delivery was 26 to 28 weeks.

1. Pregnancy Countdown

Oya Abdul Malik explained that if we count backward from the time the fetus was born in June, then conception should have occurred around January. This is considered strange because Lolly only returned to Indonesia in March, long after that period.
"If the fetus came out fully formed like a doll in June, let's count backward. Because according to the forensic expert presented by the public prosecutor, the age of the fetus at the time of birth was 26 to 28 weeks. If we count backward, that’s 5 months. From June, 5 months back is what month?" Oya said to the media at the South Jakarta District Court on Monday (10/6/2025).
2. Chronology as Consideration

He then invited the public to assess the facts themselves. According to him, this chronology should be the main consideration for the panel of judges.
"Let the public answer. In March, Lolly just arrived in Indonesia. So just answer it yourself, it’s not me who said that. You all heard it, some even heard it live," he said.
3. Explanation of the Autopsy Evidence

Oya also emphasized that the autopsy evidence held by the police and the judges clearly supports the calculation of the pregnancy timeline. This is what makes him more confident to file an appeal.
"There is autopsy evidence. Which is held by the police and the judges. It clearly states in the autopsy evidence when she became pregnant. There is. That's why I said, this is why I must appeal," he explained.
4. Allegation of Forced Abortion

With this evidence, Oya feels that his client has been bearing an undue legal burden, especially regarding the allegation of forced abortion.
"The intercourse did happen. That's why I said, let the law take its course. Her abortion and her pregnancy are not Vadel's business. Why should Vadel bear all the burden? It was already clear when I informed during the press conference," concluded Oya Abdul Malik.
