Case 4000, which dealt mainly to date with Hall 315 in the Jerusalem District Court, is indeed the case with the most serious charge - bribery - but in terms of the legal situation and the chances of conviction, case 1000 is the most difficult to succeed in terms of defense.
The indictment does not deal with the amorphous concepts of the 4000 case, such as "abnormal response to coverage," but with receipts and invoices with amounts and dates.
The first day of Adv. Haddad's cross - examination did not yield significant news. However, even the "bombing of bombs" dropped by defense attorney Adv.
At the beginning of the cross-examination, defense attorney Hadad revealed an investigative omission that should concern both those who hope for Netanyahu's conviction and those who hope for his acquittal.
Despite the fact that Arnon Milchen was suspected of giving a bribe to a prime minister suspected of accepting a bribe, which was transmitted entirely through Hadas Klein, the police did not perceive Klein's digital media as investigative material. Crowded with evidence - credentials or convictions. Like accusing her of murder without looking for the knife. A search in which she was equipped - a negligent privatization of the investigation.

This omission is in addition to the fact that the State Attorney's Office asked former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit to issue a search warrant for Sarah Netanyahu's cell phone when she was a suspect, but Hela refused and did not confirm. If this does not have legal significance, it is inconceivable that the neglect of important investigative materials is part of the most important case in recent years.
Advocate Haddad recorded one achievement, even if limited.
In her main testimony, Klein explained that Milchen was almost raped by the Netanyahu couple to provide them with favors even though he did not want to.
She elaborated on harsh scolding conversations, shouting and murky relationships with the couple.
In the cross-examination, Haddad presented the WhatsApp correspondence between Klein and Netanyahu, which were saturated with expressions of affection.
Klein admitted that she elaborated on the other parts of the relationship because she was asked about them.
She explained that the expressions of affection were part of the show, a consequence of the perception of services towards Milchen's associates.
Either way, the Netanyahu couple can not guess that they are actors in this friendship play and that the benefits are given for another reason.
It is not certain how much the companies' claim will help Netanyahu, since these are benefits to a considerable extent, and the judges will have to decide whether they deviate from the norm.
Haddad will have to significantly reduce the total amount, about NIS 700,000, in the indictment.
Moreover, court rulings have already recognized a "mixed motive."
That is, even if an action was taken for an acceptable motive, such as companies, but it included invalid motives or characteristics - the wrong will fall on the acceptable.
Enough a drop of pink food coloring to paint a whole bottle of champagne.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
