"The law does not provide for the grounds (for. - RT ) to return the case due to incomplete examination of the evidence," said judge Elena Abramova.

In addition, the judge refused to attach the written testimony of Alexander Kobets, a witness for the defense of the actor.

Earlier, Elman Pashayev, the artist's lawyer, read out in court the testimony of the witness Kobets, who stated that after the accident he saw at least two people in Yefremov's car.

According to him, earlier he was "afraid to testify" because he was "threatened at the time of the car accident."
