Tora really did not know that this drug (dumolid) was supposed to [be used under] doctors prescription. He really needs it. He is sick. But he was supposed to go to doctor to get the drugs, Lidya said.
She stated Toras case should be a lesson for people to be more aware when they want to use medicine.
If there is written hard drugs, then [they have to use it] based on doctors prescription, Lidya continued.
The police let Tora go home with certain conditions including that there must be someone to guarantee he would not tamper the legal process.
I, as Toras lawyer, guarantee that Tora will not make the investigation process difficult. Tora will not eliminate any evidence. These things are ruled by the law, Lydia added.
