Alex and Max are accused of grave breaches of public order, which expresses a clear disrespect for society, it is the use of weapons and objects used as weapons, an organized group - ie, crime, part 2 of article. 213 of the Criminal Code ("Public Disorder"). Gaskarova Solopova and faces up to seven years imprisonment.

As expected, among the main prosecution witnesses - Maxim Temples, Alexei Pitel and Alexei Parshin. Minutes of their interrogations are suspect at the defense (protocols Khramov and Pitel all absolutely identical, only the names changed).

During the confrontation witnesses claimed that spot in Gaskarova and Solopova participants mayhem on hair color, body type and even the chin.
