Short abstracts from the testimony of Epaminondas Korkoneas, the murderer of Alexandros, which was released today. I cannot make a single comment on this piece of filth. All I can say is Alexandros, RIP: None of us have any intention of retreating from the streets before some sort of revenge, before some sort of justice is paid for your murder.
Parts of the 11-page long testimony of the murderer:
“The deceased and his gang attended the swimming pool of Chalandri in Athens and participated in the violent events that occurred there, injuring citizens and the coach of Olympiakos Club by using various objects, including a crowbar. Following this they joined in with the commonly-seen hordes that gather to attack the offices of the Socialist Party, a customary occurrence in Athens on a Saturday night”.
“As a matter of fact, I have been informed that these youths, while residing in the affluent suburb of Palaio Psychiko, tend to hang out in the area of Eksarhia which they chose as their recreational area together with various sports grounds where they cause trouble, not showing the attitude and personality expected to be seen in a 15-year old teenager”.
“The deceased had been expelled by the Moraitis private school in Athens and changed schools often, a fact proving his deviant behaviour”.
In regard to the act of murder, he said:
“As for the events of Saturday: Seeing a group of around 30 youths at a distance of 10-15 meters from me, not being able to intercept their aggressive move toward us and being in a state of fear for our own lives, we moved, turning our backs against them. At the same time, in order to secure our exit, being shocked and in fear and since the crowd did not stop moving toward us despite my colleague throwing them a “sound” grenade, I pulled out my gun and guided by the instinct of survival I shot two warning shots in the air, maybe a third one that I hadn’t noticed but my colleague reminded me of later”.
His lawyer, Alexis Kougias (remember this name) stated: “It is now only up to the Greek justice to decide whether the youth was justly killed, or not”.

It’s frustrating that when ever police are tried it’s always their victims who are put on trial. “Law and order for who’s order?” -Strike Anywhere

[...] Occupied London’s On The Greek Riots blog looks like it shall be returning to both the issue of Kougias’s involvement and the broader strokes of the defence offered by the killers of Alexandros Grigoropoulos. [...]
[...] Today the two cops that killed the 15 year old Alex appeared before a judge. The 11 page long testimony of the murder cop is offensive against the boy, saying among others that “the boy was a football hooligan and that they were at the Exarchia area to make attacks as he his alike do every week”. In no point he apologized and in the end he asked to be set free. His lawyer, Alexis Kougias (well known for defending rich scumbags and using his connections with politicians and the media for his benefit) is trying for days now to mislead the people by saying that the ballistic report showed that the shot was not direct and that the bullet ricocheted. The official report has been out yet. However there are fears that the ballistic reports will be forged to show that the shot was not direct, although there are tenths of eye witnesses saying that the cop took his gun out, aimed and shot the kid. The judge decided that the two cops will stay in jail, at least for now. Outside the courthouse there were people gathered and they threw some rocks and two petrol bombs.
