**Medical Expert’s Testimony in Mzia Amaghlobeli Case: Redness Not an Objective Sign of Injury**
In the ongoing court hearing of Mzia Amaghlobeli, the founder of Netgazeti and Batumelebi, a medical expert from the Adjara Regional Forensic Department has taken the stand as a witness. Givi Chkhartishvili, the expert in question, provided crucial testimony regarding the forensic medical examination conducted on Irakli Dgebuadze.
**No Visible Signs of Injury on Dgebuadze’s Body**
According to Chkhartishvili, during the forensic medical examination of Irakli Dgebuadze, no visible or objective signs of mechanical injury were observed on areas of his body that were uncovered by clothing. The expert emphasized that a visual examination was conducted, and a report was issued stating that there were no objective signs of mechanical injury on the exposed parts of Dgebuadze’s body.
**Contrast with Amaghlobeli’s Examination**
Interestingly, Chkhartishvili mentioned that Mzia Amaghlobeli, who is facing charges, underwent a similar forensic medical examination on the same day. The report from her examination indicated that she had bruises on her left shoulder. This raises questions about the discrepancies in the findings between Dgebuadze and Amaghlobeli’s examinations.
**Redness Not an Objective Sign of Injury**
When questioned about Irakli Dgebuadze’s examination, Chkhartishvili clarified that redness is not considered an objective sign of injury. The expert stated that his task was to evaluate actual and objective signs of injury, and since Dgebuadze had none, a conclusion was made accordingly. Even if Dgebuadze had redness at the time, Chkhartishvili would not have included it in the report due to its subjective nature.
**Public Outcry Continues**
The court hearing is taking place amidst public outcry and protests. Citizens are chanting slogans such as “No justice, no peace” and “Freedom for Mzia!” The attention surrounding this case has highlighted concerns about the fairness of the proceedings and the treatment of Amaghlobeli.
