“It is my finding that the prosecution has adduced credible evidence to prove every element of the offences under the three charges, which, if unrebutted, warrants a conviction” said High Court judge Mohd Zaini Mazlan.
KL Feb 18 — Rosmah ordered by High Court to submit defence
corruption charges RM1.25b project for electricity to 369 schools in Sarawak
High Court judge Mohd Zaini Mazlan said prosecution proven prima facie case
on all three charges, including soliciting bribe
“It is my finding that the prosecution has adduced credible evidence to prove every element of the offences under the three charges, which, if unrebutted, warrants a conviction” said Zaini.
Rosmah's 3 options i. sworn evidence can be cross-examined ii. unsworn statement iii. remain silent. Rosmah chose to give a sworn statement
- Zaini admitted the “Can I advise you something” audio clips as evidence
- prosecution applied to admit audio clip to show Rosmah’s “overbearing” nature
My comments : So folks since Rosmah's defense has been called it means at this juncture the Court sees her as guilty of all charges.
“It is my finding that the prosecution has adduced credible evidence to prove every element of the offences under the three charges, which, if unrebutted, warrants a conviction” said High Court judge Mohd Zaini Mazlan.
Rosmah has chosen to give a sworn statement from the accused dock. The lawyers should tell us what this means and the pros and cons of an accused person resorting to this type of defense.
My view is Rosmah has chosen to read a statement from the dock because she CANNOT find sufficient witnesses who can testify in her favour.
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick.
