The court is about to begin.

The judges will enter the courtroom.

All attendants, please rise.

COUNSELORS

PRESIDING JUDGE, PANEL MEMBER JUDGES

Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated.

PROSECUTOR

Very well.

The trial held here in Jakarta

for the defendant, Mr. Ari Wibawa,

is now declared in session

and is open to the public.

The defendant may now sit

in the defendant's chair.

Prosecutor, please state the charge.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Mr. Ari Wibawa, the defendant,

has committed violence

by hitting Mr. Jupri,

which violates Article 351,

Point 1, in the KUHP

regarding acts of violence to others.

The charge has hereby been stated.

-Thank you.

-Okay.

Now, please state whether

you have understood

the charge that was read out

by the prosecutor.

Mr. Defendant.

Mas Ari!

Mr. Defendant!

Very well.

Let us hear what

the counselors have to say.

Thank you, Your Honor.

As the counselors of the defendant,

we find that the charge

stated by the prosecutor

is not comprehensive or specific.

Thus, we appeal to reject

and even nullify the prosecutor's charge.

Yours sincerely, Adam Suseno,

LLB, LLM. Thank you.

Very well.

Mr. Prosecutor, do you have any response

to the stated exception?

I do, Your Honor.

We request to reject the exception,

not to mention the rebuttal,

put forth by the counselors.

We stand by our previous charge.

All right.

The prosecutor stands by his charge

and the counselors

maintain their objection.

Therefore, the panel of judges

will discuss this

and ask the attendees to please

step out of the courtroom.

The court is hence adjourned.

Thank you.

Very well.

The court will be commenced

with an interlocutory decision.

The objection from the counselors

of the defendant, Mr. Ari Wibawa

is rejected.

Yes, I'm still on my way

to pick up Ms. Maura.

2 WEEKS AGO

What is it, Mas?

Please go to the laundry afterward, okay?

-To the laund

-Please pick up my suit and shirt.

Okay.

Then, buy some printer ink and markers

from the store.

Yes.

Then go to the pharmacy to buy

medicine for a sinus infection.

Then pick up the files from

Mr. Broto's house in Jl. Menteng Raya.

Menteng Raya. Okay, Mas.

I'll record it in case I forget.

Go to the laundry

to pick up a suit and a shirt.

Then, purchase a bottle of printer ink

and a marker from the store.

Then, go to the pharmacy

to buy medicine for a sinus infection.

Then, pick up a document from

Mr. Broto's house in Jl. Menteng Raya.

My God, what's happening?

-Help! Help!

-What happened?

Daddy, so how is Mas Ari?

That's what I'm worrying about.

To my knowledge,

Aswin Tarigan, the prosecutor,

has never lost a case

in any trial he's involved in.

Do you know the prosecutor?

We have the same alma mater.

He's always been competitive.

He'll never admit defeat.

You have to stay confident

that you can win this.

How will you win this?

Dod.

I'll tell you what.

Why don't you go back

to the scene of the incident tomorrow?

We might get a witness

who's willing to testify.

We might as well try to find a clue

that we can use as evidence.

-All right.

-Okay.

Maura, will you accompany me?

Okay, then.

Maura will go with Dodi, and Inul

Yes?

you will be by my side in the courtroom.

For Mas Ari's sake,

I will give my all to ensure his freedom

because we're his family too.

But anyway,

this effort will need some money.

You're unbelievable, Dodi!

You always talk about money.

Well, we can only try. Who knows?

He might give me some money.

Your Honor, I was walking

to my girlfriend's house.

Then, he and his accomplices

suddenly intercepted me.

For what reason?

He thought I was the one

who hit one of his relatives.

I'm a nice person!

Then he just started hitting me.

Here, look at the bruise.

That's a lie!

-You're lying about me!

-Please be quiet!

This is the victim's visum et repertum

from after he was assaulted

by the perpetrator.

Correct, sir.

He hit me so hard that

I was afraid I'd gotten a concussion.

That's why I went

to the hospital immediately.

Very well. If there is any response

from the counselors, please speak.

According to your statement,

there were five persons who assaulted you.

Yes, sir.

But are you positive that the defendant

was the only person who hit you?

I'm certain, sir.

He hit me like a truck.

It was terrifying, sir!

GRILLED CHILI SAUCE

LEVEL ONE TO LEVEL NETIZEN

-This is the place?

-Yes, Uncle.

That's where it happened.

And?

There was someone who saw what happened,

but I'm not sure if they live here or not.

I'm not sure.

Okay, let's ask around

to dig up some more info.

-Someone might have seen it.

-Okay.

Let's start there.

Witness.

Did you see the person

who did the hitting?

Sure, I did!

That's the guy!

There.

The one with the mustache!

I didn't see you there.

Defendant,

you'd better be silent

when it's not your turn to speak.

You never understand, do you?

-He's the one, Your Honor!

-Yes, Your Honor!

-Put him in jail!

-Yes!

Everyone, please be quiet!

The trial is adjourned for 15 minutes.

Mister, I would like to ask something.

Did you know anyone who witnessed the

as*ault which happened recently here?

Yes, there were

two persons who saw it clearly.

One of them was summoned to the trial.

-What about the other one?

-The other is Ms. Kartika.

Ms. Kartika runs a stall over there.

But it looks closed.

Ms. Kartika hasn't come yet.

Okay, then. Thank you very much.

-You're welcome.

-Thank you.

Let's go.

I'm scared.

-I don't want to go to jail.

-I understand.

Rest assured, we will do our best.

So that you can be free soon. Okay?

Don't be so gloomy.

Keep your head high, okay?

Yes. It's just that

I've not had enough sleep.

Sleeping here is not comfy.

Not comfy because no bolster?

Here, your favorite bolster.

Thank you, Miss Inul.

Mas Ari.

Can I ask something?

Prior to the incident, you were told

to pick up some files, right?

Where did you put them?

I can't remember.

You can check the recording on my phone.

Because Mas Adam gave me

a list of errands.

Just in case I forgot any,

I recorded the list on my phone.

And where do you keep your phone?

I think near the car radio.

Okay.

It's all right. Miss Inul can look for it.

Yes.

Your Honor,

let us see the recorded CCTV here.

Allow me to present this flash drive.

Yes, please.

Mr. Presiding Judge,

permission to approach?

Yes, please do.

Thank you.

This is a strong piece of evidence.

Pay attention to the detail.

This is not just an as*ault,

but a violent as*ault.

Inhumane and immoral.

I did not hit him, I swear!

Once again, I will ask

the defendant to be silent.

This is solid, yes?

Come on, Dam.

What were you doing in the scene?

I have a coffee shop nearby, sir.

And I saw that that person

did hit the person

as seen in the CCTV footage.

Why are you looking for me?

Speaking of the devil.

"When horses are giving birth

and goats are giving milk,

when you care about me,

make me your in-law."

What are you saying, Uncle?

Ma'am, I'd like to ask you this.

On November 16th, 2023,

did you see a group as*ault in this place?

Yes, I did see it. But

Ma'am, will you help us by

coming up as a witness in the trial?

I'm really sorry.

But I can't do that.

I'm scared.

Please find someone else

to be your witness.

I'm sorry.

Hi, miss and mister.

Can I interview you guys

for my YouTube vlog?

Do we get paid for this?

Oh, no.

Then forget it.

Hey, don't bug them, okay?

Go to school with Miss Tatik, okay?

-Let's go Arini.

-Okay, miss.

What was she saying again?

-Arini is her name.

-Oh.

The prosecutor has gained

more points in the trial.

Now, we can only hope that Maura

and Dodi can find a witness.

One who can counter

the prosecutor's witness' claim.

That's the only thing that will help.

Maura, why are you coming home alone?

Where is Dodi?

He went straight to his room.

He said he was tired.

So?

Did you find a witness?

Actually, there's a woman who owns

a canteen who saw what happened.

Well, that's great!

She refused to be a witness out of fear.

Nul, can you please talk to her?

Persuade her, explain to her, or whatever.

Just make her willing

to be a witness in tomorrow's trial.

Yes.

I will try tomorrow.

Please, okay?

Take Maura with you too.

She's met the woman.

-Right?

-Yeah.

Okay.

Defendant.

I want you to tell me what happened

when you first met the victim.

At that time, I heard a thud,

like something hit my car.

When I got out of the car, I saw

someone lying down next to my car, sir.

Then I tried to help him.

But he instead accused me

of attacking him.

He even asked for my money.

I felt I was being blackmailed,

so I tried to hit

There! You hit him, right?

Then you did hit him, right?

Objection, Your Honor.

The prosecutor is not giving the defendant

a chance to complete his statement.

Accepted.

Carry on, please.

But I swear, I did not hit him.

He even asked for my money.

If I refused,

he said he would sue me.

Which is why you have to pay

some compensation to the victim.

You're being unreasonable.

You're guilty but pleading innocent.

-That will be all, Your Honor.

-Please, Counselor.

Thank you, Your Honor.

To the defendant.

Do you know

or have any relation with the victim?

-No, sir.

-Very well.

Second question.

Do you know

any of the five persons

who assaulted the victim?

-No, I don't, sir.

-Remember.

Giving a false statement

is a dangerous thing.

So, you don't know them.

All right, that is all from me. Thank you.

The defendant is lying, Your Honor!

Yes, Your Honor.

The defendant is playing innocent!

Just send him to jail already!

-Yes, put him in jail!

-Please remain calm.

If you can't maintain order, get out!

I told you before,

I don't want to be a witness.

Missi Inul, talk to her.

Miss.

My name is Inul.

May I know where you are from?

I'm from Pasuruan, miss.

-What? Pasuruan?

-Yes.

That makes the two of us!

I'm from Pasuruan too!

-Oh!

-I'm from Pasuruan too.

I've never imagined I'd meet someone

from my town here.

What are you guys talking about?

I don't understand.

-Be quiet. Negotiation in process.

-Okay, okay.

So, we are good friends with Mas Ari.

He is the driver of my boss, Mr. Adam.

Yes.

I saw it too.

He's actually innocent, miss.

He was trying to help that guy.

The guy pretended to fall down.

Then, someone came and saw it.

He accused Mr. Ari of beating up that guy

who pretended to fall down earlier.

That's how it went.

Does that mean you know these guys?

I don't know them.

But before the incident,

Mr. Ari dined in here, in my canteen.

He had a chat with my daughter.

My daughter even took a video of them.

-A video?

-Yes.

That can be used as evidence.

-Does she still have the video?

-Yes, sure!

-May I borrow it?

-Of course, please!

If it goes viral, do we get paid?

Hush, don't crack jokes now.

Okay, miss. Since you're like

a sister from my hometown,

I think I can be your witness.

-You mean it?

-Absolutely.

-Oh, thank you very much.

-Likewise.

Praise be to God.

Mr. Counselor.

Do you still have other witnesses?

One witness is already present here

and the other one is on her way.

Objection, Your Honor.

There is no other witness.

There is only one witness.

The second witness

is confirmed to be coming.

Bring forth the available witness first.

All right.

May I speak with the witness for a moment?

-Yes, please.

-Thank you.

Buy some time if you can.

Please.

Please, present your statement

as a witness in the trial.

When I got to the scene,

the incident was already in progress.

But I was too afraid to go any closer.

-Then?

-I am sure, Your Honor.

I am 100% positively sure that Mas Ari

would never hit a person.

I'm very sure of that.

What makes you so sure?

Because

he has worked in my house for years,

ever since I was a kid.

So, I know him inside and out.

Even when he's driving or picking me up,

he will sometimes get out of the car

when he sees someone in trouble.

You can't be so sure.

People can change.

This also applies to the defendant.

It's how it is.

-Objection, Your Honor!

-Counselor!

You can see it yourself, right?

What the CCTV shows us?

But Your Honor

Come on. This trial is over.

Conclude this trial and commence

with the conviction.

To keep this matter focused

and prevent it from being derailed.

He's right, Your Honor.

You're wasting time!

-Fake witness, fake statement!

-Give it up.

Be quiet!

-Counselor.

-Yes.

Where is your second witness?

Are they coming or not?

Your Honor.

The second witness is here.

-Please, have a seat.

-Thank you.

Very well. Are you ready to testify?

I'm ready, Your Honor.

What statement

would you like to put forward?

The defendant made a video in my canteen

before the incident,

and he had a chat with my daughter.

During that time,

my daughter

took the video.

Your Honor,

said video is in this cell phone.

Please present it.

Hello, guys, you're back with Arini.

Now, I'm in my mom's canteen.

Today is Wednesday,

November 23rd, 2023.

It's now 2:00 p.m.

So, I'm going to interview some

of the customers here.

I see our first customer there.

Hi, what are you having for lunch?

Can I ask you some questions?

Fried rice.

Ask your questions later, okay?

-So, is it good?

-Yeah, it's good.

Mister, is that a bruise on your face?

Did you have a fight?

This is stuff for grown-ups, okay?

Don't poke your nose into it, kid.

Okay, can you pause that?

As we can see,

the video recorded by

the witness' daughter

shows that it was being recorded

at 2:00 p.m.

Which means this video was shot 15 minutes

before the conflict occurred

between the defendant and the victim.

The timestamp can be manipulated.

This is not valid evidence.

Sure, it may be manipulated.

But this video proves one more thing.

The victim already had

a bruise on his face

even before he met the defendant.

Excuse me, Your Honor.

-Mas?

-Yes.

On my way here, I got the chance

to access Mas Ari's cell phone

to search for the recording

he made about the files.

Your Honor.

We have an additional piece of evidence

which is a voice recording

made by the defendant

before the incident took place.

Here.

Pick up the document from

Mr. Broto's house in

Jl. Menteng Raya.

-Help!

-What's that? Oh no!

-Help!

-Don't hit him!

-What's going on?

-Are you all right?

Just sit down, guys!

We don't want the cops to know.

Come on, get lost.

-Are you hurt?

-God, it hurts like hell.

-What's going on here?

-What happened?

-I was beaten by this guy!

-What! Nonsense!

-See! I knew it!

-So, what's it going to be?

Give me 50 million cash or I'll sue you!

-You got to pay him, man!

-Yes, you have to pay him.

You want to blackmail me, huh?

I'll teach you a lesson!

Hey!

Stop!

Stop!

And you, Maura.

You were so brilliant,

stalling for time like that.

That's my girl.

Yeah, otherwise the prosecutor would have

pushed the judge to close the trial.

Yes.

Mrs. Kartika's testimony

as well as the video

recorded by her daughter

have convinced me that

our standing is solid now.

However,

we still have no clue

what the judges' verdict will be.

Doesn't the evidence have any effect?

Of course it does.

Let's just pray

that justice will be on Mas Ari's side.

-Amen to that.

-Amen.

Very well.

The defense hearing

for Mr. Ari Wibawa is now commencing

and is open to the public.

Counselor, please.

Thank you, panel of judges.

As the counselors for the defendant,

we would like to plead not guilty.

Due to the evidence that we have seen

on the CCTV footage,

it is visible that no hitting

ever occurred.

Hence, the additional points

will be regarded as being presented.

Very well.

Regarding the pledoi statement,

will it be presented by the defendant

or represented by the counselors?

Please.

Your Honor.

I'm someone from a village.

I came to this big city

just to make a humble living.

Never has it crossed my mind

to do anything that violates the law.

I come from a poor family.

However, ever since I was a child,

my parents have always taught me

to do the right thing.

So, I beg you, Your Honor

You're a big crybaby now, huh?

Please release me from any charge,

Your Honor.

Pay for what you did!

-I beg you, Your Honor.

-Can you just shut up?

Be quiet! Order!

The hearing will be continued tomorrow.

The verdict will be given on the next day.

Let's not get too excited

-until the verdict is given.

-Yes.

Because none of us really know

what the verdict will be for Mas Ari.

You're right.

So, let's just pray

that Mas Ari will be released soon.

-Amen.

-Amen.

The verdict

is that we have concluded that

the defendant, Ari Wibawa,

has legally

and convincingly

been proven not guilty of committing

any violent or a*usive act.

Mas Ari.

Mas Ari.

You are free.
