Rosmah’s counsel Datuk Jagjit Singh said even though they have full confidence that the judge would not be influenced by the purported leaked judgment, the risk of bias still exists. theSun theSundaily Malaysia corruption Court trial Rosmahmansor

: Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor’s defence team told the High Court today there is a risk of bias on the part of Judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan if he continues to hear Rosmah’s case due to the existence of a ‘purported draft judgment’.

He said the purported draft judgment was prepared by an individual, or more than one person, who had no authority.Jagjit submitted that the prosecution claimed the purported draft judgment is a piece of research and challenged the recusal application by claiming it was made on evidence that was based on hearsay.

“The leaked document is disturbing when it appeared on social media. But it has come out; we cannot hide it under a coconut shell. The leaked documents were not the actual written judgment against Rosmah, but copies of a write-up by the research unit of the Kuala Lumpur High Court,” he said. He said this was similar to what happened in 1988, referring to the removal of the then Chief Justice Tun Mohamed Salleh Abas, historically known as the judicial crisis.
