The trial continues

| | Comments (0)

The Noritta Samsudin trial continues -- its reported daily in The Sun (today's edition is on Page 4, "(Noritta's) Last partner unknown: Expert"). Gosh, some of this stuff is very racy, and should almost come with an 18SX tag. But this ain't the movies, a young woman is really dead, and another man's life (the accused, Hanif Basree) is on the line.

At this point, the defense for Hanif is trying to establish that Noritta had other sexual partners besides Hanif (and by the looks of the amount of multiple-source semen that was in her vagina when she died, she did); by doing so, they hope to bring doubt into the prosecution's case -- if Hanif wasn't the only one having sex with Noritta, then someone else who was could also be her murderer. Lots of CSI-like testimony being flung about; its certainly not as easy as it looks like in the shows.

This case is intriguing. Every daily report almost reads like an installment in a serial novel. Who said the Malaysian justice system is boring?
