Petah Tikva – Judge: ‘Not Enough Evidence To Convict Suspected Jewish Terrorist Pearlman’

    3

    Petah Tikva, Israel – A judge on Monday refused a police request to extend by eight days the remand of Chaim Pearlman, a settler suspected of having murdered four Palestinians and wounded several more, on the grounds that “I haven’t seen any substantial evidence that could serve to convict Pearlman.”

    Pearlman, a 29-year-old resident of Givat Washington and father of three, was arrested on suspicion of having committed a string of stabbings in the 1990s. Weapons charges have also been filed against him.

    Judge Nachum Sternlicht of the Petah Tikva Magistrate’s Court extended the suspect’s remand by only two days, saying that “Most of the planned investigation can be carried out today and tomorrow. In fact I don’t understand why they haven’t been down until now.”

    Sternlicht went on to say that though the suspicions against Pearlman were serious, they were no more than suspicions and that the time Pearlman has already spent in custody should be kept in mind. Pearlman was arrested nearly a month ago.

    Pearlman’s associates said at his previous remand extension hearing that “no progress has been made in the investigation since the arrest. The Shin Bet security service is insisting on holding him for no reason.”

    stinks of blackmailing and slandering the entire mizrachi movement by the govt. (the israeli govt is really working very hard to bury zionism so that they can give back the land to the arabs, evicting them from their state approved homes (built with permits from the govt.) and failing to provide them with any housing is just proving the point.)

    If this were to go to trial the whole Shabak incitement scam would be revealed, not only against those who fight for Eretz Yisroel Hashleimo but also against charedim. It would make the Lavon Affair and Sabra and Shatila pale by comparison as scandals go.
