Sodomy II: Discrepancies in the condo CCTV time stamp, court hears

(The Star) – Two forensic analysts told the High Court Monday that the time set in the CCTV in the sodomy trial of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was not consistent with the Malaysia Standard Time (MST).

The analysts, from Cyber Security Malaysia, both testified that there were discrepancies in the times set in the CCTV recordings, as they were slower than that of MST.

Forensic analyst Mohd Zabri Adil Talib said that the time set in the CCTV in the elevator at the Desa Damansara Condominium was 19 minutes slower than the MST.

On the other hand, his colleague, Mohd Sharizuan Mohd Omar, told the court that the time set in the CCTV at the guardhouse of the condominium was nine minutes and 15 seconds slower than the MST.

When cross-examined by defence counsel Sankara Nair, Mohd Zabri Adil said “both the times set are not right” (dua-dua tak betul).

Anwar, 63, has been charged with performing carnal intercourse against the order of nature on Mohd Saiful at a condominium unit in Bukit Damansara, Kuala Lumpur, between 3.15pm and 4pm on June 26, 2008.
