To proturječna je izjava svjedoka- policjskih sluzbenika, materijalnih dokaza s njihovom obranom. Neživotno je da su se odlucili voziti pri kraju voza trajekta i kupiti kartu i sjesti u trajekt kako bi išli kupiti cigarete.

... ovo liči na nešto kao nerealno, nevjerojatno, neuvjerljivo, nešto što se baš ne dogadja u svakodnevnom životu
