The Attorney General's Office Affirms That It Is Ready To Face Legal Efforts To Return Jessica Wongso
The Head of the Legal Information Center (Kapuspenkum) of the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) Ketut Sumedana emphasized that his party is ready to face legal remedies in the form of a review (PK) which will be filed by Jessica Wongso's attorney, a convict in the Cyanide Coffee case."If asked that the public prosecutor is ready, we are very ready to face legal remedies, which are used to being carried out by friends of the public prosecutor at the trial," said Ketut in a joint media discussion at the AGO, Jakarta, Thursday, October 12, which was confiscated by Antara.Ketut reiterated that this case had been completed with five testing processes, namely the first test in the district court, his second trial in high court, his third test in the Supreme Court. And the next test is an extraordinary legal effort in the form of a PK twice rejected."The most important thing I convey here is that from 5 times the examination with all the judges who tried, none of the judges was determined opinion (different opinions), so I state that in terms of proof it was perfect. Clear right!," said Ketut asserted.In addition, said Ketut, what became evidence at the time of the trial had become clear. Without mentioning the substance of the investigation, in the full indictment it is stated that there are forensics, digital reconstruction, and other reconstructions."What is said is that there is no forensics, even though it exists, yes, if you want to read it completely, there are all of them. Reconstruction alone there are some experts, there is digital reconstruction, there is reconstruction of the implementation at the time of the process how there was a second of murder and the death of Mirna," he explained.From listening to podcasts after the viral film Ice Cold, Ketut argued, the case should not be opened in public, especially by mentioning new evidence."If I see that everything is intact. Because if we come back again to talk about what to do, they should not be opened in public. Because this is novum (evidence), if the novum is opened to the public it is too easy for the public prosecutor to read," he said.According to Ketut, the public prosecutor is very ready to face legal action from Jessica Wongso's side, and is confident because the case is open to the public, so what more evidence is to look for."Moreover, the business that is being sued and from what side, so this is what we need to be aware of as well as friends in the community, in netizens, especially. Don't let the term be divided," he said.Ketut sees that there are already people who are divided due to the broadcast, some are starting to support Jessica Wongso."I think it's divided, most of them support it, some are not because of the documentary, the name is film, there are a few fabrications and so on, those who are invited to play also feel that someone is being lied to, it seems, this must be careful," he explained.Ketut emphasized that in responding to this case, law enforcers adhered to what was revealed at the trial. What is decided by the court. What is the law already has permanent strength, and has been executed by the public prosecutor."Clear, for us this case has been resolved since 7 years ago. But now it appears when Jessica has a 35th birthday, that's normal, humanist. We are ready to face things like that. It's normal," said Ketut.
The press is not a justiceMeanwhile, Toto Suryanto, a member of the Press Council who was present at the discussion activity between the media and the Attorney General's Office, advised press personnel to work professionally by implementing the code of ethics without the need to go deeper so that there is partiality."What is certain is that the press is not a justice, but noted the facts and conveyed to the public that then there was an attempt to take this case to a higher step that we will see, we will follow it," said Toto.He considered that the viral Cyanide Coffee case was like a moment to commemorate September 30, where people were busy watching G-30 S/PKI shows.The Pre-Revolutionary media activist questioned whether the documentary "Ice Cold" was categorized as a journalistic work or not."Interestingly, what kind of work he mentions, journalistic works, if journalistic works are not produced by verified press institutions in the Press Council," said Prabu.Separately, Jesicca Wongso's lawyer, Otto Hasibuan, said that his party was preparing to file a judicial review (PK) for his client."We are preparing the PK, about the time later at the right time," said Otto.
