[Kiwi8]

DAG is former high court judge leh

AG is AG mah, higher ranked want to kan still can kan what. Of course, this is despite him never had a career as prosecutor nor judge, so this parachuter may not be respected by the DAG.

Yup lor...

 

[xdivider]

this whole case is based on cop saying got something.......

 

[fire]

See what the judge decide, base on this can see where the verdict is leaning to

 

[mryang]

Abit baffled by these words
COP's findings are not relevant to the trial?

Yup lor...funny logic this DAG

No, the sentence means the redacted material is not relevant to the trial, according to the prosecution position.

 

[erwinrommel]

DAG Ang points out that while the defence is trying to prove that the Committee of Privileges (COP) was deprived of some material finding, the prosecution believes the COP’s findings are not relevant to the trial.

Wow

COP's findings have nothing to do with the trial...

I don't understand. Thought they submitted the "findings" to AGC to sue PS? Huh? Am i missing something?

Not judge higher meh

 

[carey]

I thought a layman could have a reasonable question that the redacted messages could be related to what happened on 8 Aug and 3 Oct. How could one simply just assume that it's not relevant w/o reading it? Hmmmm

Because the lawyer's job is to win the case, not find out about the truth

The less information they can reveal to their opponents, the better for their own case

 

[Kiwi8]

See what the judge decide, base on this can see where the verdict is leaning to

If the judge still sides the prosecution in rejecting the defence's access to the "redacted" material, I guess we all can make our conclusions regarding a certain k animal court.

Wow

Might as well throw out the court case?

 

[fire]

Not judge higher meh

If the dag was still a judge then I would think so

 

[Kiwi8]

Not judge higher meh

Former judge mah. Now only a deputy AG, still ranked lower than AG mah.

Wow

My memory not good. This case is cos of COP's finding ... no?

 

[mryang]

But dun understand why the judge don't want to throw out the cases

 

[botoguy]

this whole case is based on cop saying got something.......

Precisely???

 

[fire]

Look Like demotion?

Maybe judge got certain age limit?

Yes that is the job of the lawyer but I thought prosecutors ought to have more integrity than the typical lawyer, in the respecting of the rule of law and fairness? In fact prosecutors should have the same integrity as the court judge leh.

But dun understand why the judge don't want to throw out the cases

It's above his pay grade.
