Former starlet acquitted

DENPASAR, Bali: Denpasar District Court acquitted on Saturday
former child starlet Faradilla Sandy, 34, of charges of drug
possession due to lack of evidence.

The child star was brought to court after police allegedly
found her with Ecstasy pills as well as an inhaler for Shabu
Shabu crystal metamphetamine at her house here in July.

"The evidence and witnesses' testimony clearly showed that
there was no relation between Faradilla Sandy and the drugs found
in the attic of her house in the Renon area," Nyoman Gede
Sugiantara, the defendant's lawyer said.

Prosecutor IGA Sasmita and Srigati Gejer earlier demanded one
year's imprisonment and a Rp 20 million fine as Faradilla was
said to be in flagrant violation of Psychotropic Law No. 5/1997
for drug-related possession.

"I'm so glad to be free and that I have finally proven my
innocence," Faradilla said.(zen/edt)
