Murad Soltybaev

Murad Soltybaev is the chairman of the judicial panel for criminal cases at the Pavlodar regional court in Kazakhstan. He gained attention for presiding over a high-profile case involving a young man who was initially sentenced for causing the death of an assailant during a fight. After a thorough review of the evidence, including surveillance footage, Soltybaev and his panel decided to reduce the defendant's sentence significantly, citing self-defense as a key factor in their ruling.
