STORY: "The verdict in the Roman Zadorov case has been postponed- this is the new date," published by 'The Times', on March 3, 2023.
GIST: "The sentencing in the retrial of Roman Zadorov in the case of the late Tair Rada was postponed until the end of the month, to 30.3.23 at 10:00 am, according to an announcement made today (Wednesday). This, after the sentence was supposed to be handed down next week.
A match was found between a hair found at the scene of Tair Rada’s murder and AH
As a reminder, following the decision of retired Supreme Court Judge Meltzer, who ruled on a retrial for Zadorov following expert opinions on the murder scene, the Attorney General’s Office announced in July 2021 that State Attorney Amit Isman decided to retry Zadorov’s trial and it began in September of that year.
During the last months of the retrial, quite a few dramas and tensions were recorded, with the testimony of Dr. Chen Kugel, head of the Forensic Medicine Institute, and various experts from Israel and the world who examined various findings at the scene of the murder. Zdorov, for his part, repeated the claim that he did not kill Rada, and even repeated In it is his confession to Medovev in the detention cell: “I lied to Medovev in everything he asked. I rambled, I ranted with him about everything that came to my mind.” At the same time, Zadorov’s testimony was not without mysteries, which the judges called “disturbing”.
The late Tair Rada was murdered in the restroom at the “Nopi Golan” school in Katzrin in 2006, and she was only 13 years old."

FINAL WORD: (Applicable to all of our wrongful conviction cases): "Whenever there is a wrongful conviction, it exposes errors in our criminal legal system, and we hope that this case — and lessons from it — can prevent future injustices."
Lawyer Radha Natarajan:
Executive Director: New England Innocence Project;

FINAL, FINAL WORD: "Since its inception, the Innocence Project has pushed the criminal legal system to confront and correct the laws and policies that cause and contribute to wrongful convictions. They never shied away from the hard cases — the ones involving eyewitness identifications, confessions, and bite marks. Instead, in the course of presenting scientific evidence of innocence, they've exposed the unreliability of evidence that was, for centuries, deemed untouchable." So true!
Christina Swarns: Executive Director: The Innocence Project;

YET ANOTHER FINAL WORD:
David Hammond, one of Broadwater’s attorneys who sought his exoneration, told the Syracuse Post-Standard, “Sprinkle some junk science onto a faulty identification, and it’s the perfect recipe for a wrongful conviction.”
