LIVE Report Sodomy II Trial | 4.40pm: Hearing resumes with defence co-counsel N Surendran saying that the evidence of pre-arranged plan refers to a conspiracy theory.
The lawyer says this was mentioned in the High Court and Court of Appeal but it was not evaluated.
Except for one paragraph referred in the Court of Appeal judgment, there is no mention of the conspiracy theory.
Surendran says that similarly in the High court judgment there is only one paragraph cited.
"Saiful admitted that he went to meet Najib at his residence on June 24, 2008. He first met (prime minister's advisor) Khairil Annas.
"He also met (police senior assistant commissioner) Mohd Rodwan later that day.
"The meeting happened two days before the incident. Saiful contacted then IGP Musa Hassan."
He says that Saiful also had a series of meetings before lodging his report, including with now BN senator Ezam Mohd Nor and former national athlete Mumtaz Jaafar on June 27, 2008.
Surendran says Saiful met Rodwan in a hotel room on June 24, 2008 after the policeman called and then he met Najib.
"The meeting did not take place in the lobby. Is it probable or not there is a pre-arranged plan?" the lawyer submits.
The pre-arranged plan was also brought up by Anwar in his statement from the dock, says the lawyer.
"This are not innocent meetings but a pre-arranged plan," says Surendran.
