Maxim in driving accident

Thank you for your hard work with all articles and translation Petra .We apreciate everything you do for this forum

This just does not make sense to me. How can Maxim provide the funds awarded for Manuela and for Petar's parents if he sits in jail and can't work? Nothing will change, except he won't be able to work and pay the funds.

One of the things I've admired most about Maxim is how he has pulled himself up by his own bootstraps to achieve a height of greatness that very few ever reach, especially given similar circumstances. He dedicated his life to his calling.

There is a core of common decency in most people that says that we don't keep kicking a person when he's so far down. I think people throughout the world can see that this has gone far beyond punishment and is now in the realm of kicking a good person when he's already suffering beyond measure. There is absolutely no good at all that will come of this. It is all just so sad.

It is so sad! All again proceeds... And I so hoped, that parents will decide not to scoff above Max! All that is not pleasant to them! And may be it is right?...

The accusation needs time for Staviski

Quote from the translation: "The protest Georgiev (=the prosecutor) will bring now is be (? ; I think it´s something like "blank"). Only when the country court motivated its conviction, he (=the prosecutor) is able to corroborate as well his demand for effective punishment to the skater. The deadline for preparing the motives is 30 days." --> So we don´t only have to wait till the deadline of the appeal (=15. February), but, if I understand irt right, till the beginning of March...

Maxim Staviski
Team Sega

Protests against the suspended sentence of Maxim Staviski will in Burgas Court of Appeals Monitoring prosecutor in the case of the crash Angel Georgiev. The prosecution will press for two and a half years effective punishment and what you want in the first instance.
A week ago Staviski received 2.6 years conditional on intoxication caused in the accident in which died last Aug. 23-year-old Petar Petrov from Sliven and its spatnichka Manuela Gorsova was in a coma. Mininuma to punishment under 3 years envisaged for this crime of the Penal Code, it was after figuristat be admitted guilty and requested a shortened process. Under this procedure, the court must impose punishment under the minimum. There is no legal obstacle, however, the verdict is effective.
Claim that will now Georgiev, will be uncovered. Only when the district court reasoned verdict, he will be able to justify their request and effective punishment of figurista. The period for the preparation of the reasons is 30 days.
In October prosecution refused to submit to the court agreement with Staviski, which he received 3 years conditionally. Among the reasons it was an analysis of the charge that the practice of appellate court in Burgas in the last 3 years for such crimes be imposed for effective sentences."

Oh, good!!

I remember that I read if Maxim choosed a short trial without
questioning of the witnesses by PLEADING GUILTY, probably Maxim
had a light sentence and the case finished !!!
Now the trial goes on!! And he cannot present his witness, but the prosecutor can prolong the trial's time!!!
Ohh very just justice!!!
In Italy, if someone chooses the "RITO ABBREVIATO" ( like the Bulgarian short trial) then ALL IS FINISHED!!!! STOP!!

Yes, I am very angry!!!

Do not expect that Bulgaria has so people with hearts. I should happen to Manuelka to feel it.
That said Krassimir Gorsov father injured in the crash near Ropotamo Manuela.

Krassimir guest on the "Development 21 and met with President Alexander Alexandrov on the initiative of the Foundation, which two weeks ago opened a donor accounts for the treatment of Manuela and the family of Peter died.

Krassimir Gorsov came directly from the Military Medical Academy, where he and his wife standing and almost around the clock care for the injured girl.

State of Manuelka is severe, I know that in VMA saved her life but themselves doctors told me that treatment in Israel would be best for my child, said Krasimir.

He expressed gratitude to the Foundation for the desire to help to open accounts and sympathy.

It appeared that the Foundation will contact the team and New TV, which also initiate fundraising for concerted action on publicity campaign.

I want nothing else, just Manuelka to fix, declared once again the father.

He told that many families whose children are also in this condition following the crash have contacted him asking for advice and assistance.

There is a girl of 23 years, said Krasimir that is the situation of Manuelka and lying in his house in a coma. Doctor it looks.

I arranged for this Saturday to review specialist, I will send my Rehabilitation will help as far as I can, said Gorsov.

In this connection it is clear that if you collect money and Manuela be fine, funds that remain will be allocated by the donors for some of these sick children.
To me that money does not need me, is convinced the father.

Currently - in rough calculations, a day care Manuela total amount of 200 euro.

Apart from this, to Feb. 25 are expected to arrive izraelskiyat team that specifically target the treatment of Manuela adequate clinic.

So now we know with greater accuracy how much it would cost treatment in Israel, specifying Krassimir Gorsov."

To be honest, I´m really curious how this show process will be going on now!!

This can´t be a normal Bulgarian trial any more ...

Now not only the prosecutor appealed (He did it today!), but the parents of Manuela have made up their decision to appeal, too!!! And, as the prosecutor, they want to appeal Max´s probation!!! Now I only miss the parents of Peter Petrov saying they want to appeal his probation, then the trio would be complete ...

Maxim Staviski´s conditional sentence appealed

Maxiiiii ! Please, be strong!!! You have to go through this!!! I pray for you! I pray your probation won´t be taken away!!! Hold on!! Pleeeeease!!!

The Bulgarian version gives a little bit different information:

Quote of the translation: " (...) there isn´t prompted solicitation for the moment on the part of the lawyers of Manuela (...) Pawlova (=someone from Bourgas court) added that it is possible for the appeal to be placed on the part of the asvocats of Staviski as well (...) "

Bulgarian media! So what to believe now???

Edit: I checked two more Bulgarian articles, all are giving the same information as the one above. This IMO means that the parents of Manuela have decided to appeal! The article below seems to be the only one who says the contrary (If the translation is right, and you know I can´t control this!!! )

Remind you of the February 15 deadline expires for filing appeals in the case. Then I will decide when to be meeting the Appellate Court."

I just found a post in another forum. The girl there watched Bulgarian BTV today and said there was a report, in which they told that the parents of Manuela and the parents of Peter will not appeal (till now!)!!!

So far to the reliability of Bulgarian media...
I really don´t know what is correct now ...

Does someone know for sure?

This article gives some new information:

- The appeal will be shared in the court of appeal at the end of february...
- The appealing prosecutor gave to the court five pages with his themes for challenging the enforceable judgement on Max ...
- Main motifs of the prosecutor for the appeal are the use of alcohol and "the numerous violations of the rules on the motion in the roads from the country of Maxim Staviski"... (!!!)
- The prosecutor is ready to make more expostulations as soon as the court produced the motifs for the first judgement ... (!!!)

This prosecutor really seems to be determined to get Max in jail ...

Real life is not ice skating.

It said the mother killed in crash near Ropotamo Peter - Dzhenka in the air on NTV.

For me it is not a world champion, continued her. Where has gotten drunk was thinking only of himself, of how over the other. I will repeat it - Staviski received another gift from the state, said the mother on probation Max.

It was clear that whatever verdict to receive Staviski, it will be sufficient and will not be retribution for her slain child. I saw at least one day in jail, one day, she said.

Is out of jail, but not grave, said one more time mother. According to her, really similar accidents happen every day, but Maxim Staviski was a person of the campaign, including counsel not to drive drunk, and he by their actions showed precisely the opposite.

I had to think first of this campaign, that his face was all over Bulgaria, namely advised not to drink drive to think about the safety of other road ...

I guess that will out with such conviction, but internally believe in yourself that you might receive a greater punishment, adding Dzhenka.

She said also that has promised to give a fiancee of Peter wedding dress that has been promised when they marry, although no son J.

Fiancee died of Peter said that at times she wanted to die and she.

Sorrow, which I feel is terrible, and I do not see Staviski very sorry to the contrary.

Do not believe it and repent, though I think he made a pretty good PR with everything going on, she said. I want to see how you feel if it was our place, I want to ask Albena so I would defend him if someone had done to her what Maxim did to us, the girl added.

This is a mockery of human life, commented Peter grandmother of a conditional sentence of Staviski.

For its part the parents of severely injured in the crash - Manuel, another shared that the past six months have been the most difficult in their lives.
The father of the girl - Krasimir story that has repeatedly blame because it placed more of his daughter and then just an accident.

I promised her, and was reward for good grades in school ... naturally afraid for her, but I had given word, he said.

I want a week Staviski to sojourn as I live. To matter when I wake to sleep when I sleep, to eat when I eat. Let me tell you how he feels then, so I live six months, said Krasimir.

He added that the spread examined by journalists, Burgas District Court is not out with a similar conditional sentence, for such crimes.

I just want to see her well. I miss it, miss her voice, her smile, want everything for its part said the mother of the girl.

While in this state, she is still beautiful, as always was and I believe will soon see abiturientka really believe it, she said."

"The sadness that I feel is enourmous, and I do not see Staviski to be really sorry, opposite..."

They can say everything, I understand..... but not this....
Maxim seems dying away...he has lost every vitality, all his verve...

Albena, Maxim, HOLD ON!!!

I think most people can read what the mother would like to do to Maxim, and it wouldn't be legal. It wouldn't matter if Maxim were in jail for one day or one thousand days. That's just the way she handles her grief. I might do the same. But from a marketing/public relations standpoint, I don't think it serves the greater good of the Bulgarian people for this type of thinking to continue. This has already gone too far, as one can see from the following articles posted in the Sophia Weekly. Rest assured, when Maxim goes into a jail, the world's journalists will turn the spotlight on how Bulgaria treats its prisoners, and this will cost Bulgaria some points in the European Union as well as the world at large. Maxim is not Nicole Richey, Paris Hilton, or Britanny Spears. He has slaved many hours for the exemplary attention he and Albena brought to Bulgaria, and I think his past deeds count. Someone with authority should take over this situation and end it for the good of Bulgaria.

Strasbourg Convicts Bulgaria over Rats, Fleas in Jails

The European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg has ruled against the Bulgarian state over the poor conditions in two detention facilities in a suspected robbery case.

The applicant, Stefan Lazarov Kostadinov, a 32-year-old Bulgarian national, was awarded EUR 5,000 for non-pecuniary damage and EUR 2,000 for costs and expenses.

Kostadinov was remanded in custody in January 1999 on charges of robbery during which he had stolen almost 9,000 EUR by force, leaving the victim unconscious.

The applicant complained about the poor conditions in both Pazardzhik regional investigation service detention facility and at Pazardzhik prison.

Kostadinov complained of insufficient oxygen in the cells, inadequate hygiene, the presence of parasites (fleas and wood worms), skin infections (scabies) and rodents (mice and rats), insufficient natural light, no special recreational area, unhealthy food, no access to literature, newspapers, magazines, radio or television; no possibility for him to meet with his lawyer in private at his initiative; and, restricted correspondence rights.

"The court considered that the applicant had been confined to his cell, situated in the basement, for 24 hours a day for a period of more than five months without exposure to natural light and without having been able to undertake any physical activity or other pastime must have caused him considerable suffering," reads the sentence.

The judges concluded that the distress and hardship Kostadinov had endured had exceeded the unavoidable level of suffering inherent in detention and that the resulting anguish had gone beyond the threshold of severity.

Prosecutor Wants Bulgaria's Staviiski in Jail

Prosecution in the case against ice skating champion Maxim Staviiski, charged with involuntary manslaughter and aggravated bodily harm, announced an appeal against the suspended sentence given to the defender will be filed within the legal term.

Prosecutor Anguel Georgiev, who wants Staviiski imprisoned for 2.5 years, also insisted that the court explains its motives for not putting the top skater behind bars.

Last week, the skating champ was given a 2,5-year suspended sentence and five years to be served in probation over drunk driving and causing a heavy crash, which killed one and injured three in August.

The civil claim, filed on behalf of the girl left comatose after the fatal hit, set at BGN 2 M, was rejected and the court decided Manuela Gorsova would get BGN 80,000 compensation.

The compensation demanded by the parents of the man, who died in the crash, was also cut and Staviiski would have to pay BGN 180,000, instead of BGN 500,000.

Staviiski was deprived of a driving license for four years.

I would also like to report that some friends visited Bulgaria over the holidays, and I asked how things were. They had nothing good to say, and I didn't try to correct them. I had nothing to say at all because of the treatment of Maxim. And I'm only one in millions.

I alsways asked myself what´s coming next!!! Now I know!!!
