ALLEGED sodomy victim Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan's credit was again questioned after he was indicted of havi! ng lied when testifying in a trial conflicting Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Anwar's lead counsel Karpal Singh pronounced Saiful's justification as well as his credit should be re-appraised by a High Court.
The counsel questioned Saiful's actions before, during as well as after he was allegedly sodomised by Anwar.
During submissions yesterday, Karpal pronounced it was difficult to believe which Saiful ! had acte d like a 'lamb', obeying Anwar's instructions nonetheless he had each opportunity to escape.
"There was no justification which a bedroom door was locked. He could have rushed out," he said.
Karpal combined which Saiful was a young male as well as clever sufficient to have fended off a purported overtures of a accused, though he did not do so.
"He did not show any signs of distress. Aft! er being allegedly sodomised, he had coffee with Anwar as well as even delighted himself by immoderate curry puffs.
"He was with a indicted for 20 minutes. His credit is almost shop-worn by these revelations.
Karpal combined which after a purported incident, Saiful had each opportunity to protest to a occupants of a conflicting unit.
"He instead took a lift down as well as ! did not board any censure to a security guards," he said.
The veteran counsel also forked out which a next day, Saiful had attended a duty during a Parti Keadilan Rakyat headquarters as well as attended a meeting during Anwar's residence.
"These actions militate conflicting non-consensual passionate retort conflicting a seq! uence of nature as regularly asserted by Saiful in court."
! He pronounced Saiful's credit was serve eroded as he usually lodged a military report two days after a purported incident.
"There is no excusable explanation for this delay," pronounced a lawyer.
The counterclaim also contended which it was very doubtful for Anwar to be engaged in a passionate action as described by Saiful due to his behind problem.
Defence witness, orthopaedic surgeon Dr Tho! mas Hoog land, had testified which Anwar's mobility was singular due to his medical problem.
"Dr Hoogland had pronounced which Anwar could not have carried out powerful pelvis or hip activities without experiencing pain since he had serious arthritis as well as nerve damage.
"What was stated by Saiful is rendered unworthy of belief when considered in a light of a justification adduced by Dr Hoogland," pronounced Karpal.
Saiful had earlier described a passionate action as laju dan rakus (fast as well as vigorous).
"Saiful's credit should be re-appraised by this justice since it takes a centre stage in a entire case," Karpal said.
Anwar's alternative lawyer, S.N. Nair, submitted which neither a owners of a common ownership section nor any one else had seen Saiful during a section on a day of a purported incident.
He pronounced a closed-circuit radio camera recordings usually showed Saiful starting into a common ownership compound, prior to leaving later.
Prosecution will submit currently prior to judge Datuk Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah.
Anwar, 63, is charged with sodomising Saiful, his former aide, during a Desa Damansara Condominium in Jalan Setiakasih, Bukit Damansara, on Jun 26, 2008.
Zabidin had, on May 16, ordered Anwar to come in his counterclaim after ruling which a prosecution had valid a prima facie box conflicting him.
