#Sodomy2 Trial | [10.30am] Ram says there cannot be speculation and assumption. He says the contamination or the conclusion that one can infer is that the samples had been compromised. [10.20am] Ram says the 18 allele appeared on the Good Morning towel, toothbrush and mineral water bottle. He adds that a re-amplification should be done to explain the presence of the 18 allele. This is similar to the Teoh Beng Hock case where a foreign allele was found on the deceased’s belt. Ram emphasised it is for the prosecution to explain why there is the presence of the 18 allele. It also appeared in the B9 high rectal swab and the lock-up from the Good Morning towel. Prosecution explained that it probably came from Pusrawi Hospital’s Dr Mohd Osman Abdul Hamid but there is no evidence for this. Ram argues that the prosecution cannot say it is Dr Osman but can term it as probable. But the 18 allele also appeared in the lock-up. Did Dr Osman go to the lock-up. This shows the said samples must come from a third party, Ram says. He says the link to Dr Osman cannot be proven and it is dangerous to speculate. There is no evidence to support the prosecutions argument. The burden is on the prosecution to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt, he adds.
