Minor Accused of Carrying Cold Steel Was Fully Acquitted

In February 2018, the LAS Tbilisi Legal Aid Bureau lawyer – Mevlud Janjghava was assigned to protect the minor accused L.B. on the basis of the compulsory defense.

According to the prosecution, the policemen arrested L.B. at nearby territory of the metro station “Varketili”. He was carrying a knife. He was accused on the basis of the first part of article 2381 of the Criminal Code of Georgia. Because of the previously committed robbery, L.B. was under the home arrest, but upon the second detention he had already served his punishment.

The public lawyer – Mevlud Janjghava submitted evidences to the court indicating that the minor’s arrest was unlawful and demanded to remove guilt from him.

The court shared the position of the defense party and found the minor L.B.  not guilty. The minor remained the right to demand compensation of damage.
