The Gulf News website has had a makeover, and now looks very, um, Western and spiffy, but don't worry, all of the important news is still given extensive coverage. (See above.)
Interestingly, to be acquitted, it only took a strong denial from the accused, and a mere pointing out of witnesses who would support him:
Such procedures could no doubt speed up trials in courts in Australia.Prosecutors accused I.A. of swimming behind the 27-year-old Filipina, B.B., into the deep waters where he touched her posterior.
"I didn't do that… I have witnesses who can counter her claims," he said in court earlier.
The accused pointed out at two defence witnesses whom he had brought to court to testify his claim. The judge refused to hear them saying: "It is not needed."
