Anwar's marathon sex trial ends, verdict on Aug 4
KUALA LUMPUR. July 18 : The sex trial of ex-deputy premier Anwar Ibrahim — one of the longest In Malaysia's legal history — ended today after 13 months and the Judge said he hoped to deliver his verdict on August 4. reports AFP.
High Court Justice Arifin Jaka said the date for his written Judgement in the sodomy trial was tentative and told lawyers: "In case it Is not ready, we will notify you.
Anwar, who sidelined his lawyers and dramatically took over the defence Monday, urged Arifin to be "guided by the law and the dictates of conscience."
The Judge told him: "1 am not easily swayed. You can rest assured that I will be guided by my conscience and Judge the case based on evidence."
Anwar told reporters before
being taken back to Jail: "My team, the counsels, did their best. Based on the evidence, the alibi, they (prosecution) have no case."
His lead counsel Christopher Fernando said the defence expected an acquittal as the prosecution case was "like a sieve, riddled with holes."
'The whole nation, the whole world will be shocked if he is convicted based on this kind and quality of evidence. It will go against all entrenched fundamental principles," Fernando told reporters.
Anwar, 52. and his adopted brother Sukma Darmawan. 39. deny sodomislng Azizan Abu Bakar, then a driver for Anwar's family, on one night between January and March 1993 in Sukma's apartment in a Kuala Lumpur suburb.

Anwar, sacked by Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad in September 1998. is already serving a six-year Jail term imposed in April 1999 for abusing his powers to cover up allegations of sexual misconduct.
He says he was framed because he intended to expose corruption and was seen as a political threat to Mahathir. The government denies any plot.

'Top police personnel and the attorney-general were acting under the Instructions of the prime minister," he said.
