The main suspect in a fatal rock throwing attack, which killed a Jewish driver in Jerusalem has been charged with manslaughter instead of murder. Abed Rabbo Dawiya is charged with the manslaughter of Alexander Levlovich in the East Talpiyot neighborhood in Jerusalem in September 2015. The Jerusalem district court authorized the plea bargain which the attorney's office signed with one of the suspects on Monday. Nir, the son of the victim, opposed the settlement from the outset, saying they cant believe the law doesn't allow murder accusation in such a case. Dawiya was the head of the group that threw rocks at Levlovich's car, making him swerve and hit a post. Jerusalem district court authorized the settlement behind closed doors, sentencing Dawiya to 18 years in prison and fined him NIS 100,000.
