Day 7: DNA sample contaminated, argues defence (2)


LIVE REPORTS

10.10am: Defence lawyer Ram Karpal refers to the ‘Good morning towel’ and there is also the presence of an 18 allele.

The chemist (Nor Aidora Saedon) says the 18 allele is a stutter.

"However, based on the Chemistry Department guidelines the 18 allele is not a stutter, and it should be reported.”

Reading from Nor Aidora's testimony, the chemist later agreed that she went against her own guidelines.

"Had the Chemistry Department follow the guidelines, we would have a report of contamination.

"There can be no doubt the presence of a contaminor in the alleged 18 allele cannot be denied."

10am: Ram says government chemist Dr Seah Lay Hong said the 18 allele could be a sporadic contamination. It could have dropped from the same loci and that was why she ignored it.

"B9 (the high rectal swab) could have been contaminated and she says possibly," the defence lawyer said.

9.38am: Defence lawyer Ram Karpal is first from the defence team to address the court in its final reply.

He addresses the samples taken from Saiful Bukhari Azlan's rectum.

9.32am: Shafee complains that he has been directed by the attorney-general to raise the issue in court over what Anwar had said which he considers as serious contempt.

He cites the article by Malaysiakini, 'Go back to law school, Anwar tells Shafee'. Shafee cites the last two paragraphs of the article, which he says Anwar had made it out as if the government is seeking to end his political career.

Shafee says the AG wants him to bring this matter up in court. He complains that the trial judge in the High Court was “scandalised” and now here, the Federal Court is also “scandalised”.

Shafee wants Anwar to clarify in court as to what he had said was true or otherwise. He also points to a Malay Mail Online article but did not cite anything from it.

Sri Ram asks whether the court wants the defence to address the issue. However, Justice Arifin says the court will instead proceed with the trial.
