Lawyer questions missing held drugs<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): A lawyer questioned on Thursday the
\ndisappearance of 200 grams of shabu-shabu (crystal
\nmetamphetamine) said to be seized from his client.<\/p>\n
Lawyer Sammy Titaley from Hotma Sitompul and Partners Law Firm
\nsaid that he had asked several related parties at the Central
\nJakarta District Court about the missing 200 grams of the drug
\nbut still had been given no adequate answers.<\/p>\n
\"I asked prosecutor P.D. Manurung about this before today's
\ntrial, but he did not answer me,\" Sammy said.<\/p>\n
According to Sammy, he spotted the irregularity during a
\ntrial hearing about two weeks ago when Manurung read out the
\nprosecutor's demand.<\/p>\n
Manurung told the court at the time that Zaenal Abidin, alias
\nAkian, should be sentenced to three years imprisonment for
\npossessing 800 grams of shabu-shabu, Sammy said.<\/p>\n
\"But in the prosecutor's indictment, they stated that the
\nweight was 1,000 grams,\" Sammy added.<\/p>\n
The lawyer also questioned why the prosecutor had not
\npresented the evidence before the trial sessions, something which
\nis against existing court procedures.<\/p>\n
When asked, Manurung simply argued that he was only quoting
\nthe figure from the prosecution's chief witness, Capt. Hendra
\nJhonny, from the city police.<\/p>\n
Akian was arrested on April 8 this year in front of Pesona
\nBahari apartment on Jl. Mangga Dua in Central Jakarta, while he
\nwas allegedly carrying the shabu-shabu. (asa)<\/p>",
