The first was carried out in the course of an investigation into a massacre at a university, following which Bekmansurov was declared sane. The defendant's lawyer believes that during its conduct the rights of the principal were violated, and his condition did not allow the shooter to convey to the doctors all the necessary information. In addition, the conclusions of the examination are not consistent with the materials of the interrogations of numerous witnesses in the case of Bekmansurov's personality. As a result, the court considered that the defender did not objectively confirm his arguments, he had no doubts about the legality of the examination.

Lawyer Viktor Pankov applied for a re-examination last Monday. In his opinion, during the initial examination, which was carried out as part of the preliminary investigation, a number of violations were committed, including the rights of Timur Bekmansurov. So, during its conduct in the hospital of the psychiatric hospital No. 6 of St. Petersburg, Bekmansurov's personal belongings, including essentials, were confiscated.

The issues of the regime of his detention during communication with doctors are regulated by the legislation on detention and the internal regulations of the relevant institutions.

“The examination was carried out in accordance with the requirements of the law and the procedure approved by the Ministry of Health,” Ms. Plotnikova believes, “and precisely within the framework of the questions that were posed to the experts.” The state prosecutor believes that during the interrogation of Alla Gurina, no objective reasons why Timur Bekmansurov could not provide the necessary data to the experts were also revealed. “The expert commission was presented with all the documents, including interrogations during the preliminary investigation, no new circumstances were established, no documents about this were presented,” the prosecutor assured the court. refused. He agreed with the prosecutor's arguments that the presence of an escort during the research was necessary to ensure security.

The defense did not challenge the experts, the questions raised were not disputed. The arguments of the lawyer about the incorrect assessment of the mental state of Timur Bekmansurov and the incompleteness of the examination, the court considered unconfirmed. “At this stage, the court sees no doubts about the validity of the examination,” the presiding judge noted.

As the court pointed out, the decision to refuse a repeated examination is not subject to “self-appeal”.
