JAKARTA - The Liaison of the West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Judicial Commission (KY) pays attention to the postponement for the third time the agenda of the trial for the decision on the exploitation of water resources in Gili Trawangan with the defendants named William John totaling and Samsul Hadi.
"Actually, the trial of this case has been our attention from the start, of course there have been three delays, this is included in our attention," said NTB KY Liaison Coordinator Ridho Ardian Pratama in Mataram, NTB, Wednesday, October 30, as reported by Antara.
Regarding the reason for the postponement of the last trial which took place at the Mataram District Court (PN), Tuesday, October 29, this was because the panel of judges had not yet reached an agreement in making decisions.
According to Ridho, this has not been a public basis or KY as an external supervisor to raise suspicions about the behavior of judges.
For potential bribery in the judicial process, he said, of course there must be more in-depth investigation. Evidence stating that there is a criminal potential, both in the form of information and field data, must be a strengthening basis in KY's search.
"So, postponement of the trial is something that usually happens for a certain reason," he said.
Regarding the postponement of the trial for the third time, the attention of the NTB High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) as the party in the public prosecutor's position has also been paid attention.
Spokesperson for the NTB Prosecutor's Office, Denny Iswanto, said that his party could not respond to the postponement of the trial.
"However, in essence, whatever the judge's decision is, we are ready. If the verdict is lower than the demands, we will take legal action in accordance with the Criminal Procedure Code," said Denny.
The panel of judges who heard this case consisted of Lalu Moh. Sandi Iramaya as chairman of the panel of judges with members Isrin Surya Kurniasih and Ida Ayu Masyuni.
From the postponement of the last trial, Tuesday, October 29, the public prosecutor and the two defendants through the legal advisory team agreed to the verdict hearing on Thursday, October 31.
The postponement of the trial with the agenda of reading the verdict has been recorded since Friday, October 25.

The two members who were unable to attend the first delay were Isrin Surya Kurniasih and Ida Ayu Masyuni.
Furthermore, on Monday, October 28, the trial was again postponed due to the reason of Putu Gde Hariadi's farewell ceremony, the Chairman of the Mataram District Court, who received the mandate in his new position as Deputy Chairman of the Surakarta District Court.
