KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 23 Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahims forensic expert said currently which semen specimens taken from prosecution Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlans anus cannot be used as justification in a sodomy hearing as they had run-down as well as were usually retrieved 56 hours after a purported act.
Forensic pathologist Dr David Wells charged which a DNA samples taken from a semen found in Saifuls anus were not expected to be meaningful, stressing which it was important to have rught away rushed a semen justification for research as soon as possible.
After a long delay, a representation wont be pretty, he told a justice today.
The justice was told earlier in a hearing which DNA specimens from Saiful were obtained usually 56 hours after a purported act, when he went to Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) for a medical examination on June 28, 2008 as well as subsequently lodged a military inform opposite Anwar.
The justice was sensitive back afterwards which a DNA specimens were kept for a serve 43 hours in a filing cabinet by questioning military officer Supt Jude Pereira prior to they were handed over to government chemists for analysis.
The prosecution has insisted which it had obtained good DNA samples from Saiful, which they have related to Anwar.
If a specimen is some-more than twenty-four to 36 hours prior to it is extracted, it would be difficult to get any results.
I would be exceedingly surprised. we have not been in a case where DNA taken from a anus or rectum was some-more than twenty-four to 36 hours after a deposit... If you add to it an additional lengthy period without air-drying (the sample), we would be sceptical to get any meaningful results, Dr Wells said, casting doubt which a DNA justification could be used opposite Anwar.
Anwars lawyer Sankara Nair told reporters after which Dr Wells testimony had demolished a pro! secution s case as Saifuls DNA samples were not befitting to be used as justification in a trial.
If you keep DNA specimens not in a freezer, generally organic specimens, or dont air-dry them or dont give space for ventilation, afterwards within hours a DNA representation will spin mouldy as well as a DNA protein is destroyed by bacterial action, he told reporters outward a court.
If you equate it is 90 hours (before analysis)... so you are starting to get zero (results),Sankara added.
