In the first instance the case was heard for more than a year, work on the sentence taken from the judge Elena Guzenkova few months. One of the arguments of the defense Sugrobov and his colleagues was that Gusenkova, in the opinion of counsel, violated the principle of secrecy of the deliberation room.
