Rudy's family seeks fair trial

JAKARTA: Central Jakarta District Court president I Made Karna
promised on Monday to select experienced judges to preside over
the trial on the murder of Yohannes Berchmans Haerudy "Rudy"
Natong early this year as requested by the victim's family and
friends.

"We will choose well-educated judges who have a broad
experience in criminal cases," he told the group visiting the
court.

"We want judges who have integrity ... those who would not be
affected by the power of wealth," said Hendrik Jehanam, a lawyer
for Rudy's family.

The sole defendant in the case is Adiguna Sutowo, the younger
brother of property magnate Ponco Sutowo who holds majority
shares in the Jakarta Hilton Hotel where the murder of the bar
attendant after a New Year's Eve party took place. -- JP
