But we all hope that we will know more on Monday!

Let's hope!!!

I am a... little ...nervous....

I just found this one from yesterday (26.10.2008) :
http://novini.dir.bg/2008/10/26/news3519181.html

I only hope this little paragraph does not really tell us that they decided to wait another month with the final decision ... I mean I´m confused now because this article is from yesterday! It´s not an article from September... and this "during the las days" sounds as if it was a decision from last week...

But if it is really delayed again, ... WHY???? ... I do not understand...

Important for us is only the last paragraph:
"Преди дни стана ясно, че Върховният касационен съд ще вземе окончателно решение по делото срещу световния шампион по фигурно пързаляне Максим Ставийски до месец."

Translation by google:
"During the last days it became clear that the Supreme Court will take a final decision on the case against the world champion Figure Skating Maxim Staviyski within a month."

Piemontesina, I still hope that the journalist who wrote this understood something wrong!

Aaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just checked the Bulgarian search machine, and found this!!!!!

The Supreme Court of Cassation (VKS) back for retrial the case against Maxim Staviski of the crash near the river Ropotamo last summer.
Estimated today senior magistrates to give the final verdict. However, they did not confirmed the decision of the previous two instances, a otsadiha that the process should be reviewed again in the Appellate Court in Burgas. On May 7 Appeal judges in the seaside town confirmed the release of the January 30 conviction of the District Court against world champion - 2 years and 6 months to five years conditional probation. One of the reasons for VKS return to work is laconic expression of the reasons (in a few sentences), which denies further instance of opportunity to check the findings of pravnoznachimi facts - what is due to the introduction of cars driven by Staviski in opposing band movement and what time. The top judges have considered yet, it is reasonable to blame the prosecution court to motivate his conclusions that by the conventional condemnation will affect "a warning and deterrent not only to the offender but also on other members of society." According VKS Court of Appeals wholly ignored general prevention has not complied with the Roman maxim Summum ius, summa iniuria - formal interpretation of a law could create supreme injustice. "Whether in this demonstration of non-compliance not only with the established order (management powerful vehicle at a speed 45 km / h over the permitted, with blood alcohol content, far exceeding limits), but with instructions to the authorities responsible for the control, not the defendant in need of intensive mode of implementation of criminal coercion, "reads reasons varhivniyat court. Today's decision to VKS However particularly opinion signed by the President of judicial personnel, according to which current sentence is fair. He is not warranted and insistence of the mother and father died in the accident Petar Petrov to increase the amount of compensation of U.S. $ 90 000 each. VKS ruled that in the retrial of the case, the Court of Appeals must explain clearly justified for reasons of "unfair" compensation. According to the chairman of the judicial staff Ivan Nedev however, the award of greater amounts would lead to unjust enrichment, which the law does not allow. Burgarskiyat attorney Maxim Staviski Kozhuharov Rosen said it was shocked by the decision of VKS return to work, Focus forward. Defender champion added that ray of hope gives them the fact that the chairman of the judicial panel's decision has signed with particular opinion. "This is an important fact which shows that the decision to return the case was taken by two votes to one. We will use all opportunities to confirm the decision of the Appellate Court, "said Rosen Kozhuharov. The trial will be scheduled in the Appellate Court in Burgas on the first possible free date reported by the press center of the court, but when this is pointed."

And I though that there were no more bad news comming today. This is like never ending story.

Lawyer Maxim Staviski, Rosen Kozhuharov was shocked by the decision of VKS to return the case for retrial in the Appellate Court in Burgas.

Kozhuharov added that ray of hope gives them the fact that the chairman of the judicial staff of VKS - Ivan Nedev, has signed a decision with particular view inform agency Focus.

"As vazzivno contested decision for the proper and lawful, and imposed punishment - fair," says Nedev especially in its opinion.

"This is an important fact which shows that the decision to return the case was taken by two to one vote. We will use all opportunities to confirm the decision of the Appellate Court," said lawyer Kozhuharov Rosen, one of the defenders in trial of the crash by Maxim Staviski.

On May 7 in Burgas Appellate Court confirmed the previous verdict of Staviski of 2 years and 6 months imprisonment conditionally with a five-year probation. Magistrates condemning him to pay of 90 BGN parents of the dead man, a family get into prolonged coma Manuela Gorsova - compensation of 80 thousands.

According to lawyers in the city center VKS decision perplexed and aims for more mob nadzidanie a public figure."

It seems to me that in this article can be found some reasons why the case was given back:

- the probation that Maxim received does not meet public expectations...,
- it degrees to the position of victims that probation in this case was "obvious injustice"...,
- ...

"Supreme Cassation Court returned the case "Staviyski"

The case against Maxim Staviski had returned dorazglezhdane for the second instance

Bulgarian Post
On 27.10.2008
In the grounds of VKS recorded that probation, which receives Maxim Staviyski "does not meet public expectations and not prevazpitava. Then a court case against Staviyski will be examined again by the Appellate Court in Burgas. Earlier two courts Figure Skating World Champions was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months to five years conditional probation.


According VKS Burgas second judges gave "vague, inaccurate and short sazhdeniya associated with the accepted factual circumstances relevant to the individuation of proper punishment. Supreme Court of Appeal decree in retrial of the case to take the position of victims that probation in this the case was "obvious injustice".

From VKS said that the sentence does not resolve the question of general prevention of this type of crime that does not meet "public expectations for state coercion exercised on the perpetrators of such acts deemed YOU.

Staviyski was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months, conditional. World Champion and was deprived of the right to drive a car for a period of 4 years. In court actions Staviski decided to pay the parents died in the crash Petar Petrov of 90 thousands moral damages and U.S. $ 4815 - wealth.

For victims of the accident Manuela Gorsova which is still in grave condition after months in a coma, was awarded the sum of 80 thousands who Staviski must pay as moral damages.

Accident happened on 6 August 2007 evening near the river Ropotamo. Driving with unbecoming speed Staviyski entering a counter movement and the strike front "Honda" and a 23-year Petar Petrov from Sliven.

According to our "Bulgarian law expert" in Bulgarian forum, Hrisi , the period in which the new trial has to be held is again one month!
This means: The trial in Appelative Court in Bourgas will be till 26.11.2008!!!!!!!
So at least we know this now!

This one really makes me worry for the coming trial at Appelative Court!
If this is the new "direction " of court now, I think we should be thankful for every IceAge show we can still see Maxim in...

"Sentencing over Staviski goes to the makeup
VKS back lawsuit against the world champion of the appellate court because of vague, inaccurate and short patterns under his sentence
from "For the city" | 16:42

Photo: Archives Dnevnik
Supreme Cassation Court returned the case "Maxim Staviski of Bourgas Court of Appeals for the vague, inaccurate and short sazhdeniya in the process and in motivirovkata hearing. On May 7 last year the Court of Appeal confirmed in Burgas to izdadenata Jan. 30 verdict of the District Court, which Figure Skating World Champions was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months conditional 5-year probation. Parents of killed in the crash near Ropotamo Petar Petrov Staviski had to pay U.S. $ 90 000 kravnina and those of his sister in a coma - 80 000 leva, plus 4815 euro in property damage.

In its reasoning to turn the case VKS wrote that the decision of Bourgas Court of Appeals did not set out reasons in response to the arguments adduced in vazzivniya vazzivnata protest and complaint related material unlawfully and manifest injustice imposed penalty. In too sketchy order is listed lack of infringement under the text of the law enforcement road. Laconic expression of the reasons (in a few sentences) denies further instance of opportunity to check the findings of pravnoznachimi facts - what is due to the introduction of cars driven by Staviski cross bar in the movement and who now writes in its reasoning court.

According to the magistrates of VKS serious difficulties to check the process evaluation activities of the court created unclear, inaccurate and short sazhdeniya associated with the accepted facts relevant to the individuation of proper punishment. "Shared motives of the District Court" are inconsistent with the obligations of procedural vazzivnata instance and are contrary to the Constitution to properly motivate acts of justice. The manner of forming the national conviction, and control of this process can not be traced in vazzivniya said shortcomings of the judicial act. Thus, in the grounds of the sentence are not reasonably resolved all issues raised by the parties and above all what mechanism fixed maximum probation educational and deterrent impact on other members of society are spelled supreme judges. In their punishment is fair when both correspond to the gravity and moral ukorimost of an offense, and the identity of the figure. This is possible only if the necessary balance, reform and aiming prevazpitatelno impact on the defendant and public expectations Exercise state coercion against the perpetrators of this type of harm. This process requires a careful assessment of the public danger of the act and its impact in society. In deciding the question of probation the court must take account not only the personal qualities of the defendant, but the public danger of the crime, the judges considered.

According to the lawsuit against them in Staviski no clear finding in those aspects. Can only assume that the basis of the decision are the qualities of the defendant. In this regard, it is reasonable to blame the representative of the prosecution made to the court - the obligation to state reasons for their conclusions that by the conventional condemnation will affect warning and deterrent not only to the offender but also on other members of society. Appellate Court in Burgas has been substantial and procedural violations. Missing discuss the evidence collected in the case, in terms of ability to podsadimiya prevazpitan, given his behavior after respektiraneto by competent authorities. And if in this demonstration of non-compliance not only with established policy / management powerful vehicle at a speed 45 km / h over the permitted for this road section with a blood alcohol content far exceeding limits, but with instructions to the authorities responsible for the control , The defendant is not in need of intensive mode of implementation of criminal coercion, the court wrote.

In the retrial Court of Appeals in Burgas is necessary to make reasoned considerations in response to vazzivnite objections of the parties on stock unlawfully in criminal and civil part of attacked him judicial act and glaring injustice imposed punishment given to those further instance, can not do so because of that gain and comment decision.

In particular opinion signed presdedatelyat decision of the judicial staff of VKS Ivan Nedev. In his decision of the court in Burgas is proper and lawful, and imposed punishment - fair."

... and if this Appeal court in Bourgas will make a decision in , lets say, one month, can it again be appealed ? With another one months period appeal time? And be again given to Supreme Court? Or is that the final decision then ? Vania? Do you know?

In any case Albie and Max now both need our support, now more than ever!!!

WE ARE WITH BOTH OF YOU, ALBIE AND MAX! HOLD ON! WE BELIEVE IN YOU! AND WE SUPPORT YOU!
