Dr McDonald: Kes Anwar, kes tunggal di dunia...

Saksi pakar Molekular Genetesis dari Australia Dr Brian McDoland hari ini terus mempertahankan cadangan bahawa laporan bacaan degradasi profil DNA adalah kritikal.

Beliau yang masuk hari keempat memberi keterangan di kandang saksi kes fitnah liwat kedua Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim berpendirian bahawa sebarang laporan berkaitan degredasi akan menyumbang kepada faktor utama bagi mengesahkan kredibiliti bukti.

Beliau yang diperiksa balas oleh peguam Ram Karpal Singh hari ini mempertikaikan peranan pakar kimia Jabatan Kimia Malaysia (JKM) Dr Seah Lay Hong yang mengabaikan beberapa prosedur standard makmal.

Dalam keterangan Seah sebelum ini kepada mahkamah, beliau mengakui degredasi berlaku pada sampel yang diambil dari dubur pengadu Saiful Bukhari Azlan sekiranya ia terdedah pada persekitaran.

Namun beliau mengambil keputusan mengabaikan penemuan tersebut selain mempertahankan pendirian bahawa degredasi tidak penting selepas profil DNA ditemui.

Ram Karpal kemudian menyoal Brian sekiranya sel sperma boleh bertahan selama 113 jam di dalam rektum.

"Kemungkinan 99 peratus ianya tidak akan berlaku... 56 jam adalah yang paling lama pernah dilaporkan," jawab Brian.

Brian kemudian ditunjukkan semula artikel dalam bahasa Thai yang dikemukakan oleh pendakwa semalam namun beliau mengatakan tidak faham.

Timbalan pendawaraya Datuk Yusof Zainal Abiden semalam mengemukakan artikel kajian antarabangsa bersabit jangka hayat sel sperma mampu bertahan selepas terdedah kepada suhu normal.

Ram Karpal sebelum itu bertanya sekiranya pakar itu bersetuju catatan dalam bahasa Inggeris pada artikel tersebut, namun Brian menyifatkan artikel tersebut tidak ada kredibiliti dan musykil bagaimana ianya boleh dijadikan rujukan mahkamah.

Brian tetap mempertahankan kredibiliti beliau sebagai pakar ujian DNA selain membacakan keterangan Mahkamah Rayuan Australia mengatakan beliau adalah seorang saksi yang benar.

Beliau kemudian menolak cadangan bahawa beliau berhasrat mengelirukan mahkamah berhubung ujian AP yang dilakukan Dr Seah dan menjelaskan sekiranya laporan dibuat, ianya dapat dibandingkan dengan kesasteraan perubatan.. -tvsnews

McDonald: Anwar's case the only such one in the world

The Australian DNA expert describes Anwar Ibrahim's case, where the chemist retrieved DNA after 56 hours in the rectum, and left it for another 48 hours in the open, as one of the longest documented discoveries in the world, if the results can be believed.

Dr Brian McDonald said it was extremely rare that one could find sperm after 113 hours in the rectum, in referring to a 1997 article shown to him two days ago by the prosecution.

“That case, along with the 1982 case (which states that sperm can be retrieved after 65 hours), are the only two documented. In 99.9 percent (of the cases), you cannot find sperm at all after such long hours.

“However, this (Anwar) case is the only one (that I know of) in the world where the sperm can be captured after 56 hours and given to the chemist two days later, where you can still find a good DNA sample,” McDonald said.

He was responding to questions from Ramkarpal Singh during re-examination today.

McDonald had two days ago concurred with suggestions by solicitor-general II Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden, over the finding in the article titled 'Sexual Assault and Semen Persistence' written by GM Willot and JE Ellard.

Ellard was the scientist who made the 1982 discovery that the sperm can last for 65 hours.

McDonald said that to his knowledge and according to some journals, one could find a good DNA after the sample was retrieved from the rectum after eight hours.

Saiful was examined at the Hospital Kuala Lumpur between 9pm on June 28 and midnight on June 29, 2008, where the samples were retrieved.

Investigating officer Supt Jude Blacious Pereira admitted in court that he did not keep the samples in the refrigerator, but placed them in the drawer of his air-conditioned office. Jude gave the samples to chemist Dr Seah Lay Hong two days later.

McDonald said findings of sperm having lasted 113 hours in the rectum are not normal.

“In my experience for the last 20 years, it (such a case) would give poor results.”

He emphasised that degradation was an issue as the credibility of the sample was put at stake.

“It is 56 hours in rectum and 48 hours outside and yet you find pristine nature in the findings.” - Malaysiakini

3 calitan yang ditanda B7, B8 dan B9 dianggap sebagai “masih baik” di kawasan juboq Saifool selepas 100 jam?

Ada apa yang istimewa di juboqnya?

Ada alat pendingin udara,kalis pencemaran atau ada mesin penyejuk beku di dalamnya?

Atau ianya Super Sperma....

cheers.
