Reverse Logic in Law Enforcement

In simple terms, the public finds it difficult to accept how someone who did not start a crime, did not use violence directly, and only reacted to a crime that befell his family, should bear the status of a suspect. In the eyes of healthy legal logic, the main cause of the perpetrator's death was their own choice to commit a crime and run away, not Hogi's actions as a victim. The determination of this suspect shows a tendency for law enforcement that is too mechanistic, fixated on the consequences (death) without exploring the causes and context of the event as a whole. Whereas modern criminal law emphasizes the importance of guilt (schuld), not just the result. Without real and intentional fault, punishment should not be carried out. Ironically, this narrow approach has the potential to injure the public's sense of justice. If a victim of a crime who reacts spontaneously for the safety of his family can be made a suspect.

Spotlight on the DPR and Criticism of the Apparatus

This case did not stop as a local issue. Commission III of the DPR RI, which oversees law and security, also highlighted and strongly criticized the handling of the case. Deputy Chairman of Commission III, Habiburokhman, openly expressed his anger and disappointment. He assessed that law enforcement in this case did not use conscience and healthy logic. According to him, Hogi is actually a victim who indirectly helped the police by trying to stop the perpetrators of the crime. But instead of being protected, he was made a suspect. Even more worrying, information emerged that there was a demand for "compassionate money" from the perpetrator's family to Hogi, which added to the impression that the victim was in an increasingly depressed and unfair position. Habiburokhman's statement is important because he emphasized that in the new Criminal Code, law enforcement officials are required to prioritize substantive justice, not just formal legal certainty. The law must not be separated from conscience and a sense of social justice.
