On Thursday, the Panevėžys District Court found OJ, a resident of Rokiškis district, guilty of murder, damage to someone else’s property and violation of public order. The accused live-streamed his actions of beating and kicking the man, who later died of his injuries at the hospital, using the Tik Tok app.
For all the crimes, the OJ court imposed the final combined sentence – imprisonment for twelve years. He will have to compensate the son of the murdered man more than 26 thousand. pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage of EUR 3,719.89 to the State Hospital Fund for personal health care services provided to the victim.
No extenuating circumstances were found in the case of the defendant, who was convicted six times before.
“Although OJ did not deny that he committed all the acts he was accused of, he filmed them himself and broadcast them live on the TikTok platform, so it made no sense for him to deny them.” There is also no reason to consider his remorse for his crimes as sincere, as this is his usual behavior . In addition, he never once went to the victims, apologized to them, compensated even a small part of the damage they suffered”, noted the judge Valdas Meidus who examined the case.
The fact that he committed the criminal acts under the influence of alcohol was recognized as an aggravating circumstance for OJ, and this had an impact on his criminal behavior. In addition, his responsibility is aggravated by the fact that he committed the criminal acts as a recidivist, that is, before the conviction for the intentional crimes committed by him had not disappeared.
OJ was also convicted for breaking the windows of a car in the yard of a private house, kicking and breaking the door of a neighbor’s apartment, and a few days later vandalized the staircase of an apartment building and damaged the neighbor’s car.
The verdict of the Panevėžys District Court can be appealed to the Lithuanian Court of Appeal within 20 days.
