their decision was taking into account the facts of the trial from witness
statements, the defendant's statement, besides the defendant there was evidence
that correspond to each other. As well as aggravating and mitigating things. The
aggravating thing is that the defendant's actions resulted in the loss of another
person's life. And mitigating factors, namely the defendant has never been
convicted, the defendant behaved politely, the defendant admitted his actions. And
these mitigating factors from the 10 year sentence to 7 years were the
considerations for the Panel of Judges in handing down the decision. And Islamic
law's view of the judge's decision in this case depends on the extent to which the
decision reflects the principles of justice, the rights of the victim and the
perpetrator, in accordance with Islamic teachings. If the decision provides a fair
punishment, takes into account the perpetrator's intentions, and provides space for
the victim's family to forgive or demand their rights, then the decision can be
considered in line with Islamic law. However, if not, this could become a note in
the application of sharia justice.
