"We, the public prosecutor, apologize for the information this morning from legal counsel, the defendant is not well, such as diarrhea. So, a team of doctors was sent to examine the defendants and then the doctor's recommendation was for a trial, so the trial was a bit late because it was waiting for a doctor's examination," said the prosecutor. .
Muhammad Damis also asked that in the future the prosecutor will coordinate with the clerk if there is a shift in the time of the trial.
