“In issuing her decision, Judge Magdalena Wójcik said with disarming honesty that she would not justify it today, but she agreed with the prosecutor’s request because that was her conviction,” lawyer Krzysztof Wąsowski said on Telewizja wPoland. The lawyer, who is also the defender of the imprisoned former Ministry of Justice official Ms Urszula, presented on our television an icon written by her with a special dedication.
It seems that the district court in Warsaw has given a verdict – a decision to the higher court. He ignored the finality and purpose of the decision of the Warsaw Court of Appeal of July 31, which decided that Father Olszewski and two clerks will be released at the end of August.
– said lawyer Krzysztof Wąsowski on Telewizja wPoland.
It was quite a long hearing, with two hours of speeches by lawyers, and the court ignored everything. There were many arguments. He did not refer to the previous ruling of the Court at all, even though he had it in the files. Defense lawyers and the prosecutor referred to it, but the court did not. The prosecutor even said that he did not understand the nature of res judicata, because he had a new application. I want to say that it was precisely the authority of Judge Ewa Furtak-Leszczyńska of the Court of Appeal, who gave a comprehensive justification for her decision, that required us to refer to it.

There is no new evidence, but there has been an arrest
We have a strange situation. The court could not overturn the verdict of the court of appeal, which made an important ruling. According to this statement, they should be released on Friday, August 30. That is why he made a new decision based on a new request from the public prosecutor’s office. It is reassuring that the defense sees the end of this case and the end of the idea. The prosecutor has not introduced any new evidence in the case. After all, these people are still in prison without punishment as innocent people. Today’s hearing was disarmingly honest
– said the priest’s defense attorney. Olszewski. The lawyer also drew attention to the attitude of Judge Magdalena Wójcik.
This is not a judge in the front row. It seemed that these people in the second row would maintain professional decency in the legal field in their professional work. The sincerity of today’s meeting was astonishing. The prosecutor admitted during the hearing that there was nothing new in this. And indeed, there are no new requests for evidence, and in issuing her decision the judge said with disarming sincerity that she would not justify it today.because in principle it is not known how she can justify this, but she agrees to the request of the public prosecutor because this is her conviction
– said lawyer Wasowski.
Judge Wójcik presented the oral reasoning of the decision in a few sentences and the main statement was that she agreed with the prosecutor’s request. She gave herself seven days to prepare a justification, so we are waiting for these seven days. I feel very sorry for Judge Wójcik, because I am convinced that she will be the one to write this justification. I hope that Judge Wójcik has a team of assistant geniuses who know how to make something out of nothing. I am rooting for her, because if she does not show that there is a quarrel, we are facing a downfall. This will be hara-kiri for the court in Warsaw
– said the lawyer without hiding his shame.
This seriously damages the confidence in the judge. If we have the same evidence as the final decision of the Court of Appeal, which says that enough is enough, we will end it and the case will go to court. Start legal proceedings, let these people defend themselves, because this isolation is enough. In the meantime now, the prosecution, which has no new arguments apart from a “rebranding” of its old application, forces the uncritical trust of the court
– he noted.

A beautiful gesture
Ms. Krzysztof Wąsowski donated an icon on behalf of Mrs. Urszula to Telewizja wPolska, which she wrote with colored pencils in the Grochów detention center.
This is Our Lady of the Prison. I asked her to write a dedication. This is her original assignment.” “With gratitude and prayers, Urszula July 2024.” I have several such copies and she asked me to give one to Telewizja wPoland. Mrs. Ula D. watches television in her cell in Poland and is a great fan of it. I want to greet my client warmly so that she does not lose hope, because we will still have to go through this difficult moment. I hope that this will motivate and strengthen us all. And Mrs. Urszula and Karolina, as well as Fr. Olszewski
– Ms Urszula’s defence lawyer explained, describing how the official felt.
She is a beautiful and extremely young at heart person. There is such a joy and girlishness radiating through her that even custody cannot kill. They will encourage her to undergo full examinations as soon as she is released from custody. Losing so much weight is not healthy for her. Fortunately, she does not need a specialized diet, unlike Fr. Michał Olszewski. He has become very thin and emaciated
– a lawyer revealed to Telewizja wPoland, who believes that the prosecutor’s office hopes that the prisoners will testify with the content they expect.
I am also the defender of Paweł Szopa from “Red is Bad”, where we also had to deal with a whistleblower. She couldn’t stand the pressure and said exactly what the prosecution wanted to hear: things that were contrary to the facts of the case. They released her after 2 months. It is clearly visible that the only solution of the prosecution in “official cases” is to put pressure on these people. Whoever has the power is right, but this is very short-sighted. With these methods you do not win cases. In this way you can position yourself in a convenient position before the main trial. However, today I saw that the prosecutor’s office has lost hope in this case because they have no idea. Now they only rely on clumsily convincing the courts that if there is a criminal group, arrests must be made
– summarized lawyer Krzysztof Wąsowski.
