According to the amended indictment, in which Davis admitted as part of a plea bargain, on July 26, 2018, he arrived with Bar-Zakkai and another acquaintance at a sale apartment in Givatayim. Shortly after they arrived, while he was drunk, Bar-Zakkai demanded that Davis and the acquaintance come with him to a club in the Tel Aviv port. When Bar Zakai refused, he left the apartment in Givatayim, nervous and angry, and got into the car. Davis, who saw Bar as entitled to his condition and knew he was still drunk, tried to persuade him to stay in the apartment or at least to travel to Tel Aviv by taxi and not to drive.
At around 01:08, on his way to the Tel Aviv port, Bar-Zakkai boarded the sidewalk with his vehicle, which was recently reached by the late Ayalon Shalev-Amsalem and another minor, and hit the front of the vehicle, with great force, in both. Immediately after the car accident, Bar-Zakai spoke by phone with Davis and updated him on what had happened. He told him that one person was injured in the accident and then updated that two people were injured in the accident.
Under these circumstances, Davis, who thought the car accident was caused by being a drunk barrister, advised the barrister, in a phone call to drink water and leave the place. In a later conversation he advised him to smoke a cigarette, delete the phone call recordings between them and leave the arena. This, among other things, is in order to frustrate the owl’s inspection and prevent the police from finding out about Bar-Zakkai’s drunkenness, and hence his responsibility for the accident.
Under the plea agreement, the penalty to be claimed by the parties is one month of actual imprisonment that will be converted to service work, insofar as the defendant is found suitable by the Commissioner of Service Work. Davis will also be given a suspended sentence and a fine of NIS 1,500. Prior to the rule of law, during the negotiations to formulate the plea agreement, the parents of the late Amsalem and the injured minor were updated, and gave their consent to the settlement.
The considerations for reaching a plea agreement were the circumstances of the offense committed by Davis, who was not present at all at the scene of the accident and in addition was under the influence of alcohol. His confession, and taking responsibility on his part and his cooperation with the police were also taken into account. The court also referred to the young age of the defendant, the absence of a criminal record and the effect of the accident on his life.
