Pagi ini dengan kesejukan yang mencengkam sekitar 4 darjah celcius, tiba-tiba saya dapat melupakannya begitu sahaja lantaran membaca akhbar online The Star yang saya lampirkan di penghujung tulisan saya ini.
Masakan tidak, ianya (bagi saya) sangat kelakar bagi seorang peguam untuk berhujah dengan fakta sedemikian. Boleh anda bayangkan, seorang peguam dalam kes rogol, yang berjalan di ruang legar mahkamah dengan berpakaian serba hitam yang hebat dan mungkin membawa beg hitam, petah dan lantang berhujah di mahkamah termasuk soal balas pegawai penyiasat polis dan doktor pakar di dalam dewan mahkamah, membaca dan mengkaji bidang Obs & Gynae (agar setanding dengan ilmu pakar O & G, tiba-tiba, ketika menggulung hujah di mahkamah, begitu “berani” mengeluarkan hujah sebegitu.
Peguam yang bijaksana itu berhujah bahawa terdapat keraguan yang munasabah (reasonable doubt) dalam keterangan mangsa rogol (anak). Anak itu mendakwa warna alat sulit perogol (suspek, bapa kandung, astaghfirullah) adalah gelap (hitam?) sedangkan warna kulit bapanya (suspek) adalah cerah. Mungkin peguam yang bijaksana itu cuba meyakinkan mahkamah bahawa jika kulit kita cerah maka warna alat sulit kita juga cerah.
Saya mempunyai 2 anak lelaki dan ramai anak-anak saudara dan anak-anak kawan yang berjantinakan lelaki, anda mungkin setuju dengan saya, jika saya mengatakan bahawa adalah “biasa” warna alat sulit lebih dot dot dot berbanding warna kulit. Saya juga amat yakin hakim bicara itu juga biasa melihat “fenomena” ini.
Namun begitu, saya juga tidak menyalahkan peguam terbabit, kerana saya juga amat biasa dengan suasana kes yang sangat tidak menyebelahi kita, maka kita akan mengeluarkan semua “ledakan peluru” dengan harapan agar salah satu peluru itu mungkin akan mengenai sasaran walaupun sebenarnya kita sendiri tidak yakin ia akan mengenai sasaran. Kenapa? Sebab banyak kali (pengalaman saya sendiri) peluru yang kita pasti takkan mengenai sasaran, tiba-tiba peluru itulah yang kemudiannya tepat mengenai sasaran. Itulah hakikat perbicaraan di dunia yang fana’ ini.
KUALA LUMPUR: A 14-year-old girl, who accused her father of rape, has been consistent in her account of the crime, a prosecutor told Ampang Sessions Court.
DPP Khairunnisa Hazwani Omar submitted that the victim, who is the eldest of two siblings, had been traumatised over the rape.
“She cried many times when she testified in court as she explained to us what her father had done to her. Her story has been consistent,” she submitted yesterday, saying that it was impossible that a daughter would want to frame her biological father for rape.
The businessman claimed trial to raping his daughter at 7am in March 2006 and midnight on April 23 that same year in his house in Kajang.
She submitted that the victim was afraid and did not know what to do due to their relationship.
“This is a sinful act which was committed by the father who is supposed to take care of her and that warrants the court to call him to enter defence over the charges,” she said.
She argued that the accused who is divorced from his wife had gone to the girl’s room on both occasions and raped her, causing her to suffer pain.
She said the victim told her mother about the rape on May 14, 2006 and lodged a report the next day.
The girl was taken to Selayang Hospital and was examined by Dr M. Menaga who prepared a medical report about her condition, she said.
Boestamam Ahmad, lawyer for the accused, said the girl had given questionable testimony about the skin colour of her father’s private parts.
“The victim claimed that his private parts is dark but he is fair-skinned. We submit that the failure of the prosecution’s witnesses to prove this allows the court to apply the adverse inference principles under the Evidence Act.”
“The court could presume that his private parts is fair due to his skin colour,” he said.
Besides that, he said the medical report tendered in court was considered forged as it was signed by another person and not by Dr Menaga.
Boestamam submitted that the prosecution should have called the girl’s brother if he was said to be at home on that day.
He said investigating officer Insp Mariam Jamillah Azami had failed to conduct a thorough investigation over the matter as the mattress, pillow, bedsheet and towel allegedly used to wipe the semen was not seized to support the claims.
Sessions Court judge Suzana Hussin will decide on Dec 17 whether the prosecution had establish a prima facie case.
