Readers welcome the Sukma decision, but lambasted the prosecutors for arguing that his guilty plea was in exchange for a reduced sentence.

On Sukma freed of sodomy charge

Mohd Fuad: It is bewildering that the judge chose to remain silent to such a damaging and uncalled for remark by the DPP. If he was so confident that Sukma had pleaded guilty in exchange for a "reduced sentence", why the hell then, withdraw the charge? Wouldn't it pose a serious enough challenge (if you are worth your salt that is) for you to "put Sukma" in his rightful place?

As a layman, I say that the statement is a last-minute, last-ditch attempt to rescue whatever little credibility that is left of the AG's Chambers. Now bring on Dr Munawar Anees!
