The second hearing of the murder case of Narin Güran (8), whose lifeless body was found on September 8, hidden under bushes and stones in a creek bed 19 days after she went missing on August 21 in the Bağlar district of Diyarbakır, continues on its third day. The trial is taking place with the four detained defendants being tried for "aggravated life imprisonment" in relation to Narin's murder, and the final defenses are being heard before the verdict. The defenses began with the last lawyer of Narin's brother, Enes Güran, Mustafa Demir. The presiding judge's remark about the "defense" made a significant impact in the courtroom. "LAWYERS ACTED LIKE STATE SECRETS"The presiding judge expressed his dissatisfaction, stating, "Under normal circumstances, after the opinion is sent, the lawyers submit their defenses, and we read the defenses 10 days in advance. I always request this. We said to send it 10-15 days earlier, so we can read it. It shouldn't be left to the last minute. But in this case, all our lawyers acted like it was a state secret. No one sent the defense." "NOW WE ARE TAKING NOTES CAREFULLY"The presiding judge, stating that no defense had been submitted to the court, said, "Now we are taking notes carefully here. Is there something we missed? Is there something we need to pay attention to? That is what we are concerned about."
