After Iwik's Acquittal
Tuesday, November 11, 2014
Weak Evidence, Weak Testimony
Iwik retracted his confession. Not a single shred of the prosecutor's evidence was backed up by witnesses.
THE verdict against Dwi Sumaji alias Iwik, accused of murdering daily newspaper Bernas reporter Fuad M. Syafruddin, was scheduled to be announced on November 27 1997, 113 days after the court commenced hearing the case. Unexpectedly, the state prosecutor, who had initially indicted him on charges under four inter-related Criminal Code articles, instead submitted a request that Iwik be acquitted and released of all charges.
Iwik's fate then lay completely in the hands of the panel of judges, led by Endang Sri Murwati, who was also the chief justice of the Bantul State Court.
