We remind you that the first meeting on this case was held on June 6. In it, the American said that he understood the accusations. When the judge asked if he would admit his guilt, Black responded that he would express his position later.
The second court hearing will take place on Monday, June 17. When asked if the American citizen is pleading guilty to making death threats, he responded in the negative. “Partially (in the robbery), there was no intention,” the agency reports on Black’s words.
It is noted that in court he communicates with the help of an interpreter.
Recall that the American soldier Black arrived in Vladivostok from Korea in April at the invitation of his girlfriend. He lived with her for just under a month. In early May, during an argument, an American man forcibly grabbed the girl by her neck, which she perceived as a real threat to her life. He also stole 10 thousand rubles from a resident of Vladivostok.
It was noted that Black served as part of the American contingent in South Korea. He traveled to Russia on his own initiative.
