On the second day of the trial, Aneta Krawczyk and Andrzej Lepper, accompanied by their lawyers, entered the district court in Piotrków Trybunalski at almost the same time. The head of Self-Defence has been provoking the woman with sarcastic statements such as, “I am so afraid of your declarations that I did not sleep all night.” However, Krawczyk did not react to his words. Rzeczpospolita has established that the public prosecutor put forward a proposal to give evidence by Aneta Krawczyk without the presence of the accused. This proposal was dismissed by the judge Magdalena Zapał-Nowak. However, Lepper stated that he want to unduly cause stress to Krawczyk left the courtroom. Stanisław Łyżwiński, on the other hand, did not leave. The former members of parliament are accused of sexual abuse of Self-Defence workers and additionally, Stanisław Łyżwiński of raping one woman. They are pleading innocent. Lepper left the Court because his counsel for the defence did not require his presence yesterday. “We are not going to ask any questions and make any declarations at the moment,” said Wiesław Żurawski, a lawyer. “We will give evidence when the witness finishes being questioned.” After leaving the Court, Andrzej Lepper went to the Hotel Trybunalski where he met with workers from Self-Defence who wanted to organize a demonstration in front of the Court. “We wanted to appear in front of the Court with banners and with demands to make this trial public,” stated Włodzimierz Maciołek. “This case is too complicated to be overseen by one judge. We gave up because the chairman did not want any scandals in front of the Court.”
