LIVE REPORTS
1210pm: Shafee says Jude has nothing to gain from tampering the samples.
The prosecutor says Jude had been up front on the matter and the IO admitted to switching on the air conditioning where he had kept the samples for 24 hours to keep them cool.
Justice Arifin adjourns court for today and says court will reconvene on Monday with the prosecution's submissions.
Monday's session will last only half a day as justice Arifin has another engagement, therefore the proceedings may possibly continue on Tuesday.
12pm: Shafee points out the defence did not put it to Jude while on the stand, on the possibility of the sample being tampered with, but only made the allegation after that when he could not defend himself.
Shafee further repeats there is no alleged tampering of the exhibit.
"Allegations against the IO (Jude) is a serious travesty of justice," he says.
11.55am: The conduct of Jude, says Shafee, does not constitute tampering (of the samples).
He is citing further case laws of why the samples should be accepted.
The government prosecutor asks where one would get samples of Anwar's spermatozoa to tamper the evidence with.
"If one is to suggest (the DNA) could be planted from sample taken in Anwar's cell, it cannot be done as it occurred in a different time space," he says.
Saiful's sample was sent on June 30 while Anwar's sample was retrieved and sent to the chemist on July 17.
11.45am: Also in the public gallery is national laureate A Samad Said along with former Penang Deputy Chief Minister Mansor Othman.
Shafee says the measures taken by HKL doctor Dr Siew Sheue Feng by signing on the envelope of the specimen and having Saiful sign it as well, was sufficient measures taken to avoid tampering.
He says that the samples are further sealed by the police seal.
