According to Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, the court released doctor Giorgi Akhobadze because 100% evidence could not be presented.
According to Kobakhidze, if even 1% doubt remains, the court is obliged to release a person.
“There is a high legal standard in Georgia. One of the reasons why only 20 out of 1,000 offenders are arrested is the high legal standard. Based on the fact that there was no 100% evidence, if at least 1% doubt remains, the court is obliged to release a person. Even when it knows that the person is a drug addict, uses or takes drugs, if there is not 100% evidence, the court is obliged to release the person.
No video had been filmed, that is why Akhobadze was released from prison. Nothing was planted on him. We are talking about a 100% proof standard.
I would like to advise you one thing, this is not about Akhobadze, Petre, or Pavle - do not declare people who stole morphine from children as heroes! "- said the Prime Minister.
