JAKARTA - The panel of judges at the trial of alleged gratification in the fatwa arrangement of the Supreme Court (MA) reprimanded Prosecutor Pinangki Sirna Malasari, who was considered to have given illogical testimony. Pinangki was a witness in the case for the defendant Andi Irfan Jaya.

The reprimand began when the General Prosecutor (JPU) questioned Pinangki about something that Andi Irfan Jaya sent to Joko Tjandra. The prosecutor's question was based on the communication history between Pinangki and Anita Kolopaking.

"What did the IR send to JC ?," asked a prosecutor.

Pinangki said if the 'something' he meant was asking Andi Irfan Jaya to call Joko Tjandra. But when he was again asked questions about it, Pinangki immediately changed his testimony.

Pinangki answered that he did not remember the context of the 'something'. It is only said if there is no specific purpose about it.

"I forget what the context is but it means maybe the telephone or what the context is," said Pinangki.

Hearing Pinangki's statement, the presiding judge Iganisus Eko Purwanto immediately rebuked him. He was of the view that Pinangki's testimony was illogical. Because only a few moments later he corrected his testimony.

"Witness, I remind you again. I remind you many times. It is illogical for you to type something without any basis," said Eko.

In fact, Eko said that the information conveyed made no sense. Especially for someone who received a higher education like Pinangki. It would be different if the information was conveyed by a child who did not understand anything.

"It doesn't make sense for you to be an undergraduate, doctoral degree again. It doesn't make sense if you don't understand what you sent, unless these are children who just sent them," he said.

So, Eko reminded that Pinangki had to tell the truth. Because, Pinangki seemed to be hiding something.

"I remind you, the panel wants the truth. There is no need to cover it up if there is something there. I have repeatedly reminded you," he said.
