Overview
- Judges rejected a motion to pause proceedings over the continued absence of defense lawyer Volodymyr Voroniak and continued without him.
- The prosecution accused the defense of deliberately stalling the case and abusing the right to defense, citing multiple prior postponements.
- A neighbor testified she saw V’iacheslav Zinchenko near Iryna Farion’s residence about ten times in the two weeks before the shooting.
- The court could not start the accused’s computer for examination, then reviewed his mobile phone in open session without photo or video recording.
- After the phone review and at the defense’s request for more time on case materials, the court scheduled the next session for March 24, with computer forensics still pending.
