A
lawyer of murder suspect Jessica Kumala Wongso, Otto Hasibuan, has questioned the time disparity between the closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage and the cash register in a trial at Central Jakarta District Court on Thursday.
According to the CCTV recording, Jessica went back to the cafe at 4.14 p.m. on Jan. 6 after previously reserving a table at 3.30 p.m.
On the order bill from the cash register, which was presented to the panel of judges, it was written that the Vietnamese coffee was ordered at 4.08 p.m., a couple minutes before Jessica came to the cafe.
Rangga, a coffee barista, claimed the validity of the bill as he made the coffee based on the order.
"How could a Vietnamese coffee be ordered before Jessica even came back to the cafe? How could it happen?" Otto asked in the trial.
Previously, Aprilia Cindy Cornelia, Olivier Cafe receptionist who appeared as witness on Wednesday, said that Jessica did not order any drink while she reserved a table. Jessica ordered a Vietnamese coffee and cocktails after she came back to the cafe.
Meanwhile, the prosecutors responded to the lawyer's question by saying that the CCTV time was set differently from the cash register time. He said the disparity was insignificant. (bbn)
