Tangerang: As the Tangerang District Court cross-examined Prita Mulyasari, the defendant charged with defamation by Omni International Hospital, on Wednesday, lawyers and prosecutors were locked in a heated argument.
Prita told the court that she was disappointed by the hospital's poor service and wrote an email to her close friends about her experience after the hospital management ignored her complaint.
"Did you feel you were going to die when you wrote the sentence: *Don't let others have a similar experience' in the email?" prosecutor Riyadi asked Prita.
The question sparked protest from lawyer Slamet Yuwono and soon the courtroom was filled with heated debate. The arguing only stopped after the judge told the court to calm down.
The trial will resume on Nov. 18, when prosecutors are scheduled to read the sentence demanded. - JP
