I’m not familiar with court processes but I would have thought that matters that are already in court should not be discussed outside. My views are of course tainted by the tv shows I watch where they sequester juries so as not to prejudice their minds by what they read in the papers.
So I have been quite puzzled over this whole Saiful – Anwar affair… if I can call it that. We know that Anwar has been charged in Court for allegedly participating in anal sex. A few days ago we had Saiful, his accuser swearing on the Quran on tv and in the public, that it was done to him against his consent (though how that can be is beyond me).
Today, he was called to give a statment to Jawi the religious officers, allegedly about the same issue.
Can they do that? Discuss and give statements and “evidence” outside of the Court even before the case has begun?
I’m puzzled.
