The implementation of the perspective of individualization of punishment in the Decision of the Jayapura Class IA District Court Number 16/Pid.B/2020/PN Jap is implied in 6 (six) main points of the judge's consideration, namely (1) the indictment and criminal charges of the Public Prosecutor, (2) the defense of the Legal Counsel, (3) evidence in the form of witness statements, both charge witnesses and a de charge witnesses, expert statements, defendant statements, (4) evidence, (5) trial facts, (6) proof of elements of the crime of spreading false news through social media.
