Tomorrow will mark the 15th anniversary of the fateful day in which Katzrin Tair Rada, the daughter of Shmuel and Ilana Rada, was murdered, a month before she turned 14. By an unusual coincidence, the three judges discussing the retrial of Roman Zadorov will return to the murder scene tomorrow.
In 2010, in a trial that shocked the country, Zadorov, a resident of Katzrin who was then working on renovating the school shelters where the murder took place, was sentenced to life in prison.
Judges Asher Kola, Danny Tzarfati and Tamar Nissim-Shai will also be joined by Zadorov's defense attorney tomorrow.
Their visit to the Nofei Golan school is in fact a legal hearing for everything, and is defined as a closed-door hearing.
During a visit by the judges at the first trial, they toured several places that outline Rada's last trajectory, and other points related to the murder investigation.
The visit began under the pergola where the murdered woman was staying with her friends and girlfriends, before entering the school.
The judges then visited the shelter where Zadorov worked in the flooring and the teachers' room.
The bathroom itself, where Rada was murdered, was completely renovated and changed so the judges visited another bathroom, identical to the original.
The prosecution requested during the first trial to check the angle of view from the fountain inside the building towards the level above, where the murder took place.
One of the students testified that at this point she saw a figure, which she later linked to Zadorov.
In addition, the walking time and distance from the school gate to the building where Zadorov worked and where the murder was committed were measured at the time, because the defense argued that at the time the murder was committed, Zadorov collected equipment from his employer and entered the school grounds.

The retrial revolves around some key controversies: the authenticity of Zadorov's confession to the murder and the reenactment of the murder, the issue of the footprints found on Rada's pants, the schedules he conducted and their suitability for the time of the murder, and his level of knowledge. However, the main issue in the retrial is the trace of an unidentified shoe at the murder scene, on which drops of blood of the murdered woman were found.
According to an opinion presented by the defense, supported by the head of the Institute of Forensic Medicine Dr. Chen Kugel, the drops of blood could only drip very close to the time of the murder. The defense claims, following this, that the blood spilled on a shoe imprint that was imprinted very close to the time of the murder, hence that it was the imprint of an undetected killer.
In the original trial it was assumed that the unidentified traces were imprinted by an anonymous extractor who arrived at the murder scene after the body was found.
The prosecution would argue that blood could actually have leaked from the body after it was discovered by the rescuers, a claim that would contradict the defense's opinion.
To substantiate this, the prosecution will this week schedule a world-renowned forensic expert from the United States - Dr. Francisco Diaz, who serves as a forensic pathologist and chief investigator in the capital Washington. And testified hundreds of times in the courts.

The issue of the serrated knife also attracted much attention during the murder case; While the prosecution has claimed and claims that Zadorov murdered Tair Rada with the help of the cutting knife he used in his work, the defense claims that it was a serrated knife.
This issue even led in 2013 to the Supreme Court returning the case to the Nazareth District Court to hear it. The allegation of murder with a serrated knife first came up after Zadorov's conviction, by pathologist Dr. Maya Furman-Reznik. For forensic medicine. The Nazareth District Court then preferred the opinion of pathologist Dr. Konstantin Zeitzev over Forman-Reznik's opinion and upheld the conviction.
Subsequently, Forman-Reznik's opinion was one of the reasons for Supreme Court Justice Yoram Danziger's decision to acquit Zadorov out of doubt, at the hearing of his appeal.
Danziger was in a minority position before Justices Yitzhak Amit and Zvi Zilbertal.

Dr. Diaz co-authored a professional book, with Professor Warner Spitz, in the field of pathology and the investigation of deaths. Spitz himself, also an American and world-renowned expert in pathology, is also on the prosecution's list of witnesses. , directed Foreman-Resnick and Kugel sight of me in the library of Spitz. Spitz, of course, contradict the opinion, as well as Diaz.
another interesting trend that seems during the trial relates to the three bloodstains protection claims being shoe prints indicating road leading out of the cell. In his opening of the prosecution It was stated that "the marks are not of the same quality, and no unequivocal finding has been determined by any expert that these are shoe prints, certainly not those created by the same pair of shoes, and in any case they do not mark an exit route."
The defense attorney, Adv. Halevi, claims that this is a significant change in the prosecution's position, which previously agreed that it was due to shoes and demanded that the court prevent the prosecution from defining the same marks as shoe prints.
