The defense will be allowed to put Ola Kravchenka on the witness stand in Roman Zadorov’s retrial even though the prosecution concluded unequivocally that, contrary to the defense’s claim, she was not the perpetrator of the murder for which Zadorov was convicted.
Zadorov was convicted of murdering 13-year-old Tair Rada at the her school in Katzrin in 2006. His conviction was upheld on appeal. But on Wednesday, in a rare move, State Prosecutor Amit Aisman granted his request for a retrial.
In that same media statement, Aisman said he had closed the case against Kravchenka. Nevertheless, Zadorov’s lawyer, Yarom Halevy, said Thursday that he plans to put Kravchenka on the stand and accuse her of the murder.
