Razak Baginda: No Prima Facie Case

Blogging live from Shah Alam Court:
I have to make this brief as I am typing from the blackberry’s pathetically small keyboard.
The trial of Altantuya Shaaribu took an interesting turn today when Judge Mohd Zaki ruled that the prosecution team failed to establish a prima facie case against Razak Baginda.
It means that Razak Baginda won’t be called to enter his defence on the charge of abetting the murder of Altantuya, pressed against him almost two years ago.
Bizarrely, the other accused Shirul and Azilah, have been ordered to enter defence.
Razak was mobbed by the reporters but he refused to make any official statement to the press, just yet. He left the court complex in a chauffeured driven XC 90.
If you ask me, the prosecution team has no other choice but the seek the appeal avenue to save whatever credibility they have left.
