Petikan daripada Malaysiakini di sini dalam perbicaraan kes Mantan Perdana Menteri, DS Najib Tun Razak memang unik. Ianya berbunyi,
12.25pm: Lead defence counsel Muhammad Shafee Abdullah and lead prosecutor Tommy Thomas enter into an argument over the handing over of case documents before trial commences.
This as Tommy says Shafee's request to obtain all documents before the trial date has been set is unreasonable.
In response, Shafee says: "If you charge him today, it means you are ready! I can't imagine you will charge someone but the documents are not ready.
"Just photostat the documents and hand it over to us."
Dalam sejarah perbicaraan, belum pernah Orang Kena Tuduh (OKT) dan peguambelanya meminta Mahkamah mempercepatkan kes manakala Peguam Negara cuba melengah-lengahkan kes melebihi 6 bulan. Dengar apa kata TS Shafee Abdullah di bawah,
Bertahun lamanya DS Anwar Ibrahim memohon penangguhan kes beliau di mahkamah. Menteri Kewangan, Lim Guan Eng pula bermati-matian cuba menangguhkan dua kes rasuah beliau di Mahkamah Tinggi Pulau Pinang.
DS Najib Tun Razak sedaya upaya tidak mahu menangguhkan kes perbicaraannya tetapi pihak yang mendakwa beliau menyatakan tidak lagi bersedia. Pelik betul kakitangan Thomas & Friends, ingat main pondok-pondok ka?
