Adv. Zion Amir, the attorney for IPS officer Ronen Cohen, who was acquitted over the lynching case at the central bus station in Be'er Sheva, welcomed the decision.
"It's definitely a great day for an officer who showed an act of heroism during the incident, and instead of an award received an indictment. I'm glad the court acquitted him after almost 5 years of legal battle," he said.
