Text your say: Verdict against Antasari
| Thu, 02/18/2010 1:49 PM | Opinion
Your comments on the verdict against former chairman of the Corruption Eradication
Commission (KPK) Antasari Azhar, who got an 18-year jail term for murder.
Why was Rhani Juliani (wife of the victim) not summoned to court by the defense
lawyers?
Her story could have been easily ripped apart if I had been on the defense team.
Where is she now? Who is feeding her and her family since she is no longer a caddy
or a wife?
But she can be murdered by the conspirators any time now, as she is the only weak
link.
Simon
Duri, Riau
Antasari could be a victim of a mystery conspiracy related to the Bank Century gate
and other unexposed cases.
He may know too much about hidden corruption and potentially uncovered the
biggest cases in government.
Therefore, some of culprits marked him as a dangerous person and decided he should
be removed from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

Antasari is not guilty. In any impartial court of law, whether with a judge or a jury
system, the evidence as presented was inconsistent and circumstantial at best, and
was insufficient for a guilty verdict.
Some evidence appeared to have been overlooked by the judges, such as the forensic
evidence concerning the gunshot wounds from a high-velocity rifle at a distance, nor
was there strong evidence of a conspiracy against Antasari and less-than-convincing
prosecution witnesses featured in the deliberations.
It is clear that he is the victim of revenge for doing an outstanding job in attempting
to free the country of corruption which is a stated objective of the current government
leadership.
It's another sad example of the judicial mafia and other elements, who conspired to
ensure Antasari's removal from public life.
May he keep strong and resolute in his fight for justice and gain support from fair and
right-minded people.

KPK — new leadership on the way
! "#
The government has named those to be appointed members of a committee to select
the new leaders of the antigraft body, with observers calling on the government to
ensure integrity when choosing the members.
Justice and Human Rights Minister, Patrialis Akbar over the weekend identified three
people in the list as former Muhammadiyah chairman Ahmad Syafii Maarif, lawyer
Todung Mulya Lubis and former Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) deputy
chief Erry Riyana Hardjapamekas.
“I saw the names were among those proposed,” Patrialis said as quoted by Antara
news agency in Medan after completing his working visit on Saturday.
The list was submitted to drawn up by the Coordinating Political, Legal, and Security
Affairs Minister Djoko Suyanto last week and was drawn up by his office.
Previously, Djoko said Patrialis was also in the list as the government’s
representative. He said Patrialis would become the coordinator of the committee.
Patrialis said the committee members represented various groups in society, including
the government, academics and legal practitioners.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono would study the list before approving it,
Patrialis said.
Maarif and Todung, however, both told the The Jakarta Post on Sunday they had not
been notified about the nomination.
Observers said people with integrity and reputation were necessary in the selection
committee.
“The selection of a reliable KPK leader is important,” Todung, who heads
Transparency International Indonesia (TII), told the Post. “The KPK needs a strong
and capable leader to fill the empty leadership post because it is facing more cases
with more complexity.”
He declined to comment on his nomination, saying he had not been officially
informed of it.
Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW), however, questioned the government’s move to
set up the committee. “Are they looking to select one leader or to fill all five
leadership posts?” ICW coordinator Danang Widoyoko said Sunday.
The KPK has been without a chairman since Tumpak Panggabean was dismissed in
March. Tumpak was acting chairman after former chairman Antasari Azhar was
dismissed for his involvement in a murder case.
The four current KPK deputies were inaugurated in 2007 and will serve until 2011.
They are Chandra M. Hamzah, Bibit Samad Rianto, M. Jasin and Haryono Umar.
The KPK and several antigraft organizations have said that the KPK could function
without a chairman.
“The leadership post will expire in 2011,” M. Jasin said, questioning the efficiency of
such a committee.
The committee will make a shortlist of KPK leadership candidates to be submitted to
the President who will then propose the list to the House of Representatives’
Commission III, which will select the new leader. (ipa)

The Chief Judge at the South Jakarta District Court has banged the gavel - sentencing
Thursday the former Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) chairman Antasari
Azhar to 18 years in prison for masterminding the murder of businessman Nasruddin
Zulkarnaen in March last year.
The same court also sentenced Thursday businessmen Sigid Haryo Wibisono and
Jerry Hermawan Lo, as well as senior police officer Williardi Wizard to 15, five and
12 years imprisonment, respectively, for complicity in the same murder case.
As citizens of a Rechstaat, which upholds the Rule of Law in resolving all legal
disputes, we have to respect the decisions made by the judges regarding the murder
case. Furthermore, the judges' freedom and independence in making decisions are
guaranteed in both the 1945 Constitution and the 2004 Judicial Institution Law. It is
therefore the judges' sole liberty in determining whether the defendants are guilty,
including each defendant's level of involvement and the jail term imposed on them.
However, without disrespecting the judges' constitutional authority, the court's verdict
on the high-profile murder case is arguably controversial - being structurally
inconsistent and disregarding common sense and the judges' own oath to forward
conscience and uphold the truth in the decision-making process.
Take the verdict on Antasari for example. The jail term imposed on him not only has
angered the murder victim's family and their quest for justice, but also disappointed
the prosecutors as it is far below the death sentence previously sought by them. It is
very uncommon to see a defendant, who has been charged with death penalty for
premeditated murder and declared guilty by the court, only sentenced to 18 years in
prison. Should the judges have considered Antasari's good manner during the court
proceedings as the mitigating factor against him, it would be logical if he was
sentenced to life or 20 years in jail at a minimum.
The verdict on Antasari was also controversial as the judges had discounted the
evidence and testimonies presented during the court proceedings and merely based
their verdict on the pre-trial dossiers submitted by the police and prosecutors.
However, the quest for justice is not over. The case will be subject to further
examination after Antasari said he would file an appeal to the Jakarta High Court.
The opportunity for justice exists as we can expect judges at the High Court to
"correct" the verdict made by the lower court.
