NSTnation: Shafee said the court should refrain from ordering NajibRazak to enter his defence just to hear what he has to say, including on JhoLow's role in the whole mess. NajibTrial SRCInternational

Lead prosecutor Datuk V Sithambaram said the prosecution was confident it had proven its case against Najib on all 7 charges and therefore he should be ordered to enter his defence.Instead, he said, the prosecution had made its case based on evidence of witnesses and a host of contemporaneous documents to prove the charges against Najib.

Sithambaram said the prosecution had filed complete written submissions and also made oral clarification about the entire case and it was now up to the judge to decide. "It's like tossing a coin now...anything can happen," he told reporters after wrapping up his submissions. "We can't ask him questions on why Jho Low did this and that. We are dealing with a con man here...how are we to read his mind.On questions why Najib had never bothered to lodge a police report after finding out that RM42 million had been deposited into his bank account, Shafee said it was because his client wanted to avoid being accused of interfering in ongoing investigations.
