The guilt of an accused must be "proven beyond any reasonable doubt", but our judges dont seem to understand this. From what I understand of the law, if there is any reasonable doubt, an honest and rightious judge would throw out a case. So it is with Anwar's current sodomy case. Mohd.Saiful. the star witness, has now been accused of having an affair with Farah Azlina Latifa, a deputy public prosecutor and a member of the prosecutor's team.
Irrespective of any reason given by the DPP Mohd Hanafiah Zakaria, the perception is that the intergrity of the prosecution has been compromised. It is his words that Farah never had access to investigation papers. What else do you expect him to say? that they did have an affair? Anyway a reasonable doubt has been raised. And we all know how our umno lawyers and judges do with the law. The fact that the judge had disallowed the two to be called to the stand to answer the alleged romantic affair is further indication that the judge had abused his power and the defence is again being stone-walled. Enough condemnation of our justice system has been made, and yet our CJ now brags that other countries are looking towards our system to emulate.(read here). Sure or not? or just siok sendiri saja.
