Low Thia Kiang leaves State Courts amid back-and-forth between prosecution and defence

Former Workers’ Party chief Low Thia Khiang has left the State Courts, nearly three hours after arriving. This is a clear sign that the court is not yet ready to move on from Mr Yudhishthra Nathan’s testimony to Mr Low taking the stand.

The prosecution and defence are arguing before the judge whether redacted messages should be produced as evidence in court.

Now we all got confused over whats PS was charged for??

 

[Kiwi8]

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?

Prosecution is referring to the "redacted material" as not being relevant to the trial.

I dun agree with the prosecution position too.

As the Chinese saying goes: Spring wind smugness

 

[kkkkdllmkkkk]

Exactly. COP was formed specifically to fix Pritam Singh, hence all relevant evidence that could have proven his innocence but are not in favour of that agenda are "redacted".

LOL means lao hong and nathan also out to fix someone??? thats why 'redacted'

 

[carey]

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.

As far, the judge seems quite neutral and on the ball

But the prosecution can still "win" if they manage to correctly "frame" their argument

Law can be quite farney and sometimes, the one who wins is the one who know the "law" better and can use it to their advantage - it's not about "fairness"

But it is quite a high bar set by the court for prosecution to "win" (beyond reasonable doubt)

 

[tuxguy]

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

like that everything not relevant lah, everyone just go home as if nothing happened, nothing is relevant lol

 

[carey]

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.

In an ideal world, maybe

Still remember the AHTC case?

Also don't forget that they also "take instructions" from their boss

[blueweed]

so what does epstein and diddy have in common beside being slime balls?

they probably have a construct of people working for them and doing all the day to day evil planning. so if they were properly prosecuted, all their assistant and correspondence will have to come out in court accordingly right? its logic

unless its of nations security on ufo, mh370 or that kind of gravity

but knn how can the law prevent redacted message from surfacing from matters like cop? its looks damn under the belt

This is for he say her say... No solid evidence mah

ahtc oso no need solid evidence can kpmg audit and ask ahtc sue ahtc. end up still nothing and waste everyone's time & $$....

Defence asks for redacted and unredacted versions of Mr Nathan’s COP evidence

Mr Andre Jumabhoy says the defence is seeking the unredacted version of Mr Yudhishthra Nathan’s evidence to the Committee of Privileges (COP), as well as the same set of documents but with the redactions and the reasons given for them.

This is a reasonable line of inquiry as it goes directly to whether Mr Nathan and Ms Loh’s testimonies are credible, says Mr Jumabhoy. “I’m not here to challenge the findings of the COP…(but) these witnesses’ credibility is very much an issue,” he adds.

The prosecution says Mr Jumabhoy is seeking to show that the witnesses had hid evidence before the COP, and to get the judge to rule on the COP’s proceedings.

Deputy Attorney-General Ang Cheng Hock says: “The defence is inviting Your Honour to go into the integrity of the COP process. What will they do with (that)? They will use it for whatever purposes they want.”

“That is the only finding that can come out of this exercise.”

Deputy Principal District Judge Luke Tan says during this exchange that he will not make any findings about the COP’s proceeding because that is not relevant to this trial.

Ya, but I was referring to the release of the redacted messages

The bar is high indeed and so many of us can't help but wonder what's the real intention...
