Jaslyn Go's Account Of The Trial

One of the Tak Boleh Tahan! defendants have blogged about the trial. Read her full entry @ jaslyngo.sgpolitics.net. Here are excerpts:

The 2nd day of trial started with DPP finally providing some answers to the provision of the video recording which the Police intended to adduce as evidence.

We returned to court at 2pm to view the video together. We all had a good laugh as this is the first time after the protest that the TBT 18 sat down and re-lived the experience of the protest. As we viewed the video. We were laughing away at some of the scenes. e.g. when Seelan was dragged and the police videographer was focusing on Seelan's shoes.. Seelan lifted up his legs and commented that he is still wearing the same pair.

We also laughed at the silliness of ASP Willam Goh insisting that we move from the junction when the traffic light was clearly red.

Jufri Mahmood questioned the witness if she (a Police Staff Sergent) knew what gazetted actually meant but DPP objected to that citing irrelevance to which John made a very good rebuttal as he pointed out that even she as a Police Staff Sergent is not aware of Parliament House being a gazetted area and why are the rest of us laymen expected to reasonably ought to have known, hence he believe the relevance to Jufri Mahmood questioning of her understanding of the word "gazetted".
