Gopal takes court on a magic carpet ride

Anwar's lead counsel talks about 'moving carpets' and 'seduction'.
sri ram300PUTRAJAYA: As Day 7 of Sodomy 2 came to a close, Gopal Sri Ram, head of Anwar Ibrahim’s defense team, took the court back to the crime scene, describing how investigators went into Unit 11-5-2 of the condominium where the alleged act took place and removed a carpet from the room, but the act supposedly took place in the unit next to it, 11-5-1.
Citing that from all accounts only Saiful Bukhari had testified to there being a carpet in unit 11-5-1, Gopal proclaimed, “My learned friend said the carpet moved from 11-5-1 to 11-5-2. My Lords, I do not believe in flying carpets. There is a gap, no evidence to show that there was a carpet in 11-5-1.”
Gopal told the court that no forensic material could be lifted from the carpet and thus “We go further to say that the act of sodomy never happened,” noting that Units 11-5-1 and 11-5-2 are not neighbouring units. When asked by a judge if there was evidence, Gopal replied that if there was no evidence of the carpet being moved, there was no carpet in 11-5-1, contrary to Saiful’s account.
When the judge asked what would be the forensic team’s reason for going to 11-5-2, Gopal replied, “No reason.”
Gopal went on to attack Saiful’s character, noting that the complainant’s friend Najwan described him as contradictory and showing a picture of Anwar that Saiful had posted to the social network Friendster, describing the opposition leader as ‘munafik’ (hypocrite). Additionally, the social network pictures showed Saiful campaigning for Barisan Nasional.
The lead counsel also brought up Saiful’s seduction of a member of the prosecution team, Farah Azalina, telling the court, “If my learned friend (Shafee) can tell tales, so can I. But my tales aren’t about flying carpets. The open scandal of the Deputy Public Prosecutor having an affair with Saiful. This boy is not an ordinary boy.”
He also defended the late Karpal Singh, saying “Mr. Karpal, the great man, knew what he was doing when he applied to impeach the witness. Shafee suggested that Mr. Karpal didn’t know what he was doing. In his defensc, he knew exactly what he was doing.”
The court reconvenes tomorrow at 3pm, with an additional 15 minutes given to Gopal to conclude his submission.
