Najib’s trial adjourned after photocopy nightmare

KUALA LUMPUR, April 15 — Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s second day of his RM42 million trial had to end early today, as it would be time-consuming for the prosecution to photocopy a fresh batch of documents that his lawyers needed for the trial.

“The documents in the folders have been numbered. I would be obliged if my learned friend can make us a copy of the documents as they are, with numbering on the top, because it will be easier for us to refer to the witness,” he told the court. Harvinderjit said the prosecution had provided the same documents before the trial as legally required under the Criminal Procedure Code, but claimed that “some documents were jumbled up” in the pre-trial set.

After about an hour, ad-hoc prosecutor Datuk V. Sithambaram informed the court that the process was taking longer than expected, as it had to be done a page at a time.“By the time we finish, it might be beyond 5pm, I pray that we adjourn to tomorrow 9am. The prosecution apologises for that,” he said at around 4.15pm.
