Anwar Sememangnya BEJAT ... Majlis Peguam BERKONSPIRASI HALANG Keadilan Buat SAIFUL!

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 9 — Malaysian Bar president Lim Chee Wee today urged the Attorney-General (A-G) not to appeal against Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s sodomy acquittal and to instead focus on more serious crimes.

The Bar Council chief said the High Court had ruled fairly in the case, and based his decision on the principles of natural justice.

“The case has unnecessarily taken up judicial time and public funds,” he said in a statement today, adding the law “criminalises” sexual relations between two consenting adults.

Majlis Peguam dilihat semakin mendesak dan memulas tangan Peguam Negara supaya lebih fokus kepada kes-kes jenayah yang lebih serius dan tidak membuang masa serta wang rakyat untuk tidak melayan tuntutan Saiful Bukhari Azlan yang mahu mengemukakan rayuan di Mahkamah Rayuan.

Sudah semakin jelas Majlis Peguam cuba bertindak membelakangkan prinsip keadilan untuk mana-mana individu yang berhak mendapat pembelaan yang adil hingga ke peringkat tertinggi badan kehakiman.

GWM yakin Saiful Bukhari Azlan masih mempunyai ruang secukupnya bagi membuktikan kes beliau masih kukuh berdasarkan kepada artikel dibawah.

Amer Hamzah said ideally, a judge should provide his written grounds for the verdict within six weeks of its delivery.

However, he said, there were some judges and magistrates who still did not provide reasons when delivering their verdicts. Some would only say that the prosecution had proven its case "beyond reasonable doubt" and do not provide their grounds for such a decision.

"In Anwar's case, the judge only said that he does not accept the DNA evidence," Amer Hamzah said.

Saiful Bukhari Azlan dan pihak pendakwaraya perlu meneliti kembali bukti-bukti lain yang bakal dijadikan kes kukuh untuk mengheret kembali Tuan Haji Anwar ke muka pengadilan. Pihak pendakwaraya mempunyai masa 14 hari bagi mengemukakan rayuan iaitu sebelum 23 Januari 2012.

Cuma satu perkara yang dikhuatiri adalah jika sekiranya 'written judgement' ke atas keputusan penghakiman lewat dilakukan oleh hakim yang membicarakan kes tersebut. Perlu diingat, rayuan hanya boleh dilakukan setelah 'written judgement' dilakukan oleh hakim. Hakim yang membicarakan kes tersebut perlu menyediakan alasan-alasan bertulis penghakiman. 

Jika tidak, Saiful Bukhari Azlan dan pihak pendakwaraya tidak boleh mengemukakan rayuan.
