The legal representative of Arbër Paplekaj, accused of murdering Pjerin Xhuvan, a crime that occurred in Elbasan 4 days before the parliamentary elections of 2021, has shown during the court session the dynamics of the crime.
Lawyer Mirash Martini stated that his client, the former RENEA officer, reacted by shooting at the victim only at the moment when his friend, Pavlo Uksani, was injured and he saw the weapons pointed at him.
"When Paplekaj was pushed towards him, it is clear that they used physical violence, from the evidence he was severely verbally abused by his family, mother, wife", said the lawyer, adding that "he was shot by the crowd and his friend was injured ".
According to the legal representative, Paplekaj did not react and tried to avoid it, adding that "no one testifies that he insulted anyone".
"They kept their hands in their purses, the moment he saw his injured friend Pavlo Uksani and that they took out their weapons, he reacted. It is clearly shown that he was confronted by Pjerin Xhuvanit, he sees short weapons being pointed at him, he sees his friend injured and then he reacts", declared the lawyer.
In other cases, he said that the first degree has changed the legal standards by sentencing him to 22 years in prison.
"I have the written material of 44 pages. The first degree, based on the charge filed by the prosecution, has changed the legal definition by sentencing him to 22 years in prison.
Arbër Paplekaj reacted after the gunshots, after the gun attack and after seeing one of his friends injured.
From the examination of the body of the victim Pjerin Xhuvani, it appears that there are complementary factors of shooting with firearms.
Due to the distance, it is clear that these factors are not from Arbë Paplekaj's weapon. This means that at a distance closer than one meter to Xhuvan, there was someone who shot a gun.
Arbë Paplekaj was shot at the scene before he shot. Arbër Paplekaj did not react to insults and physical violence, but he reacted when he was shot with a gun and one of his friends was injured.
It is a reaction to a difficult mental state. He acted like a robot, instinctively in defense of his life and those around him," said the lawyer.
