The oncologist assessed the likelihood of Lercek's participation in court sessions

"These are legal issues, where everything is described on each point. Legal capacity is dictated on the basis of documents submitted by doctors, that she is oriented in space, time and in everything that is happening around her. Naturally, no one will carry her on a stretcher, but if she is sufficiently social and physically active, then, of course, they will summon her to court," he said in an interview with aif.ru .
Cheremushkin added that the logic of the court is simple: if a person can walk, go to a cafe or play sports, then he is able to attend the hearings. At the same time, the final decision always remains with the attending physicians and judicial authorities, who evaluate each specific case on the basis of official documents, he said.

Chekalina's criminal case on the withdrawal of more than 250 million rubles to the UAE under forged documents was transferred to another judge on June 19. Prior to that, the prosecutor's office applied to the metropolitan court with a request to conduct a second forensic medical examination of Lerchek.
