Changing the charges from "production and possession of weapons" to the "assistance to possession" section only

In a case in which a man was accused of manufacturing a weapon, allegedly converting a recoil-operated pistol to fire "live" ammunition, and of course, possessing it, an examination of the object was conducted at the police station where he was being held.

The examination revealed the following findings:
- The muzzle exploded when the first bullet was fired.
- The entire part of the tube, from the uvula to the pharynx, simply flew away and disappeared, so it could not be examined.
- An examination of original photographs of the object, as made in a weapons laboratory and provided only after a specific request, showed that attempts may have been made to disable the object so that it could not be used for firing! (This was not described or reported in the work sheets and the opinion of the laboratory officer)
- An examination with the IDF, which manufactures the object, revealed that there is probably a certain barrier inside the barrel, which was apparently not removed (which does not allow firing of projectile ammunition!) and whose presence probably contributed to the explosion during the firing test.

After the inspection report was forwarded to the defense attorney, who in turn forwarded it to the prosecutor's office, the charges were changed from "manufacturing a weapon" and "possession of a weapon" to "assisting possession," which led to the hearing being transferred from the District Court to the Magistrate's Court and the maximum sentence being reduced to half that for possession.
Bottom line, you shouldn't take the opinions of health care experts at face value.
