The entrepreneur suspected of two double homicide and two serious arson requested about switching defenders.
Now, the District Court approved the change and hence it is clear that the suspected killer will be defended by Silbersky.
The District Court has now approved additional costs it means that the entrepreneur will be defended by celebrity lawyer.
– There are some special reasons in that I know a bit of background. Then I thought it seemed interesting, and then I just wanted to help, says Silbersky.
Last week added the man in his 50s suspected of two double homicide with a request to replace the public defender. He has defended the Jonkoping lawyer Mats Erfors, but wrote that he wanted to switch to celebrity lawyer Silbersky.
The entrepreneur has a handwritten letter to Jönköping District Court subtitled in capital letters and written that he lacks confidence defender Mats Erfors. However, he has not stated the reason why.
On Monday held a processing at Jönköping District Court where they determine that the suspect the murderer may switch defenders and thus will continue to have Silbersky at his side.
– We’ve talked on the phone and will meet tomorrow (read Tuesday), said Silbersky.
The court justifies this decision by the man convicted so he risks a very long custodial sentence. Therefore, they argue that the reason that he lacks confidence in his current defender is enough.
The additional costs are paid by the state
Silbersky has agreed to defend the man – under the assumption that his additional costs will arise because of that he was forced to travel to Jonkoping reimbursed by the state. Why entrepreneur wanted just Silbersky is unclear.
– It is a question that should be addressed to him, really, the only thing I know is that he declared that he had confidence in his then lawyer and wanted the court would appoint me, says Silbersky
Why do you defend him?
– There are some special reasons in that I know a bit of background and then I thought it seemed interesting and when I wanted to help. Then he pointed out at me was that I felt that I could say yes.
The District Court concluded that because of the serious crimes of the entrepreneur is suspected, there are specific reasons for the additional costs for Silbersky because he had to travel so far.
