TP Trial day 6

Please do not misunderstand by the caption, this is not a notes of proceedings. Hee.. I think I'm too into the trials that I've been through this few months. Ya.. today is another trial for TP and that is the 6th we have, and that will be another 2 or more days for the continuous trials. As usual, I arrived at court 45 minutes earlier just to avoid being caught by the traffic congestion. I was then spend this short time in court's cafeteria, having a cup of lime tea, running through the notes and to re-call certain important issues that will help my master during the examinations of witnesses.

By 8.30 a.m. sharp, I've entered High Court 2 pulling my bauky trolly that is cumbersome. "Good Morning!", my Master is greeting me as usual in every morning, but today is a little bit different, because he said that with a big smile :) Well... a good signs indeed. He looks like more confident than the previous trials, to me, he is well prepared, indeed he is. After all the defendants counsel and the witnesses are arrived, the court started at 9 a.m. The cunning witness, Mr Ho was called to the witness stand again. As expected, he was hostile and uncoorperated as what he did on the last ocassion. But, his attitutes and reactions to the questions that posed to him was apparently showed that he is trying to cover and to circumvent the questions. The more elaboration he gave the more the contradiction to his credibility in this case.

After almost 4 hours of battle, the judge decided to stand down the matter and adjourned it to the next trial day. I believed, that is the outcome the defendants are looking forward to, because the scenario and the witness' performance is not in their favors today. 12.30 p.m., master treating us lunch at pan pac and of course discussing the trial. As expected, he asked me to assess judge's position in today trial. I've been very frank to him and said that the judge was not with us initially, but his attitude changed when the witness start contradicting himself by his exessive explaination, His Lordship even ask to continue the proceedings regardless the defendants' proposal to adjourn or the objections from the defendants. My assessment was eventually pleased my master, and that is what he wanted from me. Well, just to be clear here, I was saying that neither because of wanted to please him nor knowing that he likes to listen to that kind of things from me. Such assessment is purely based on what I've perceived to what had happened through out the proceedings, plus the experiences that I've gained from the previous proceedings.

One thing I couldn't understand is that, he will definitely ask me a question: "So, do you still want to practise since there are so many uncertainties during the trial?" And my answer will always be: "Of course I want to!". Well... actually, I posed that question to myself many times before he posed the samething to me. My confidence did shake at one point of time when I've been considering it thoroughly. In this country, the judiciary system seems challenging to me and those young lawyer and majority of them ended up to opt leaving this field. It is undeniably that I might be one of them in future, but, I don't wish to give up before I could expose myself more on this field. This is the profession that I'm looking forward to expose and to perform because I think I have the potential to be a good lawyer, and I'm now keep improving myself which I think was so evident that not only I've disocvered it, even I think my boss should have discovered the same thing from me. If he does concern on me as his pupil. Another thing is that, I love making something impossible to possible, and I like to see how a miracle will happen to me, because I'm a girl who enjoy the process to the achievement and success, which is something I'm got to be proud of and something that near my dream.
