JAKARTA - The public prosecutor (JPU) asked the panel of judges to reject the exception or objection note filed by the defendant Baiquni Wibowo. Thus, the process of proof in the obstruction of justice case can be continued. "We, the public prosecutor in this case, request that the panel that examines and justices this case imposes an interlocutory decision: To declare rejecting the objection note of the defendant and the legal adviser to the defendant Baiquni Wibowo for the whole," said the prosecutor at the trial, Thursday, November 3. The reason behind the request was because the indictment against the defendant had been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code. So, it can be used as a basis for proof. “Declare that the examination of the case on behalf of Baiquni Wibowo is followed up with a case examination. Ordered the public prosecutor to summon the witnesses at the next trial,” said the prosecutor. As an information, Baiquni Wibowo was charged with obstructing the investigation into the murder case of Nopriansyah Yosua Hutabarat alias Brigadier J.
