Wednesday, 12 August 2020, 14:51The Supreme Court ruled today (Wednesday) that the actual prison sentence handed down to Yitzhak Aspa, the footballer who was convicted of abandoning the boy Ari Nesher after he was injured and killed in a car accident in Tel Aviv, should be reduced. The court ruled that the sentence would be shortened to three years in practice, instead of the four-and-a-half years in prison he was sentenced to in the district court.
The Supreme Court justified its decision by stating that the imprisonment sentence imposed on Kedruglan Assemblies drastically exceeds punishments imposed in similar cases and even close to punishment in cases where drivers were also convicted of responsibility for the death of victims in a car accident.
Justices Anat Baron, Ofer Grosskopf and Alex Stein noted the moral failure inherent in the offense of abandonment - in which Aspa was convicted - and the contempt for the sanctity of the lives of the victims and the feelings of their relatives. It was also determined that the Tel Aviv District Court was right when it imposed a prison sentence that aggravates the penalty threshold for abandonment offenses, but added that the aggravation of punishment should be done in moderation and gradually.

Reluctantly and she also deviated his life and the life of his family from their trajectory. His actions are undoubtedly serious; However, there is no reason to compare Aspa's punishment to the punishment of drivers who, in addition to abandonment, were also found responsible for causing the accident and the deaths of the victims.
