New Lawyer


Essam Jubbara, one of AUC 8, now has a new lawyer representing him who has received the investigative report and will decide whether or not to defend the entire group as a whole or Essam as an individual. He is also looking into transferring the case to a more lenient court. He is also working on getting a license so that Essam can obtain outside psychological counseling.
