What are the charges against Alexei Gorinov in this new trial, and what is his defense?

Following a previous conviction for spreading "fake news" about the war, Moscow municipal deputy Alexei Gorinov faces a new trial for allegedly justifying terrorism. The prosecution claims Gorinov, while hospitalized, made statements condoning the Crimean bridge bombing and the actions of the Azov Regiment, deemed a terrorist organization in Russia. Gorinov denies these accusations, stating his comments were made in response to questions from fellow inmates and that the evidence was obtained through provocation.
