8.40am: Journalists waiting outside the Kuala Lumpur High Court in Jalan Duta Court Complex are allowed into the courtroom.

A plainclothes police officer is seen videotaping others going into the courtroom. He has been doing that over the past few days.

The controversial sodomy trial is to resume today with the defence team cross-examining Hospital Kuala Lumpur surgical specialist Dr Mohd Razali Ibrahim. Dr Mohd Razali had testified yesterday that the four cotton swab samples taken showed signs of semen.

The defence will be assisted by forensic expert Dr David Wells, an associate professor in criminology at the University of Melbourne, who arrived from Australia yesterday. Dr Wells is division head of clinical forensic medicine at the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine.
