The Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim sodomy II trial which was suppose to proceed today with cross-examining complainant Saiful Bukhari Azlan was POSTPONED to tomorrow morning so that the Judge could decide on the application made by the defence for High Court judge Justice Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah to recuse himself.
Datuk Seri Anwar’s lead counsel Karpal Singh brought up the issue as soon as the case was called at 9.58am, on the grounds that the judge’s previous ruling in relation to the closed proceedings of the trial’s second day “brings to surface an element of real danger of bias.”
Trial resumes tomorrow.
