Defence spotlights Saiful's underwear, trousers (4)


LIVE REPORTS

12.55pm: Court adjourns for lunch and the prosecution is to submit in the afternoon, but Shafee asks his submission to be made tomorrow morning.

He says he intends to finish it tomorrow itself. The judges discuss the request.

12.40pm: Sangeet shows Anwar's cell was dirty before the latter occupied it. She also pointed to the toilet in the cell and notes there was no sink inside.

The sink is outside the cell, she says in reply to questions from justice Abdull Hamid over a police officer's conflicting testimony that he had heard Anwar brush his teeth, in contrast to the High Court judgment that states the police saw the opposition leader brushing his teeth.

"This shows that Anwar cannot have brushed his teeth outside, as the sink is outside the cell," she explains.

12.25pm: Ram says the sperm cells were not properly separated by the Chemistry Department.

He says the DNA evidence and scientific evidence is unreliable and hence there is no corroboration of Saiful's claim of being sodomised.

Ram points out that we are already in the third day of hearing at the Federal Court, and suggests the Court of Appeal in finding Anwar guilty and sentencing him within two days may have rushed the process.

He says as a result, the defence was not accord a fair hearing at the appellate court.

Ram finishes his submission and Sangeet continues the defence.

Sangeet points to the lockup diary to show the state of Anwar's cell during the latter's detention.
