Prosecutor seeks 15 months for Doyok<\/p>\n
TANGERANG (JP): A state prosecutor asked on Monday that the
\nTangerang District Court sentence comedian Sudarmadji, better
\nknown as Doyok, to 15 months in jail for the illegal possession
\nand use of 0.5 grams of crystal methampethamin (shabu-shabu).<\/p>\n
The 41-year-old Doyok should also be given a Rp 1 million fine
\nfor the offense, said prosecutor Nandi Warsidi, adding that the
\n15-month sentence would take into consideration the four months
\nthe defendant had already served in detention.<\/p>\n
Prosecutor Nandi said the police found the shabu-shabu in
\nDoyok's residence in Lippo Karawaci area here on July 20.<\/p>\n
\"The defendant violated Article 62, Law No. 5\/1997 on
\npsychotropic drugs,\" Nandi said.<\/p>\n
The contraband was bought at Rp 150,000 through a friend
\nidentified as Rizal Indra Kresna, who was with the defendant at
\nthe Jakarta Opera House on July 19, the prosecutor added.<\/p>\n
Doyok received the shabu-shabu from Rizal that night.<\/p>\n
Rizal is being tried separately for trafficking a total of 2.5
\ngrams of shabu-shabu, 0.5 grams of which was bought upon Doyok's
\nrequest. The prosecutor has asked the court to sentence Rizal to
\ntwo years imprisonment for the charges.<\/p>\n
The lanky comedian, Doyok, who has been detained since July
\n21, commented to reporters after the court hearing that although
\nhe could do nothing about the sentence he thought that it was
\nunreasonable.<\/p>\n
\"That may be better for me. I myself think that the sentence
\ndemand is too harsh. I just pray that the court might later hand
\ndown a lighter verdict,\" said the comedian, who simply smiled in
\nan expression of submission as the prosecutor delivered the
\nsentence request.<\/p>\n
Doyok, who failed to appear at the previous hearing due to a
\nserious illness, told reporters on Monday that he was healthy
\nenough to stand trial. He also said that he could enjoy living in
\nthe Tangerang penitentiary. \"It's nice staying there. I have many
\nfriends and am getting more experience. Contrary to people's
\nbelief, living in prison is okay. We are fed and given medicine
\nonce we fall ill.\"
