Malaysiakini report: Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan appeared in public today to swear on the Quran and denied he had consented to the alleged anal intercourse with opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim.
Does anyone realised that this action of swearing is really stupid? Nothing to do with the Quran. But the mere action of swearing, whether on the Quran, on the Bible, on your mother’s grave and etc.
Swearing does not in anyway demonstate whether a person is guilty or innocent.
I mean, what is there to gain? Just consider the few posibilities:
1. If you are indeed innocent and you swore on the Quran (or anything else), BUT IF all the forensic evidences, all the witnesses, all the circumstancial environment POINTS TO YOU being guilty, you will still be known as guilty in the eyes of the law and certainly in the eyes of most people.
So what if you swore that you are innocent? If you are effectively framed, no swearing is gonna sets you free.
2. What if you are REALLY GUILTY and you swore that you are not? What does it really matter? IF all the forensic evidences, all the witnesses, all the circumstancial environment POINTS TO YOU being guilty, you will still be guilty in the eyes of the law and certainly in the eyes of most people.
No swearing is gonna make you innocent.
————————————————————————
The court will not just ignore all evidences on the case just because you have sworn your innocence. And the intelligent people of Malaysia or anywhere in the world will not believe you if your are truly proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt in a just trail.
And Saiful, if the Police dare not charge Anwar for raping you, what hope of evidence are there for you to proof your case?
And I really hope Anwar is not so stupid as to go and swear on anything.
