Amrozi Asks for Judical Review Again Friday, 02 May, 2008 | 16:04 WIB TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta: Three prisoners on death row for the Bali bombing asked for a judicial review (PK) again. This time, the judicial review is being submitted to head of the Batu penitentiary, Nusakambangan, Central Java.
"Amrozi, Imam Samudra, and Muklas have signed the PK documents and given them to the staff of penitentiary, " said Achmad Michdan, attorney for the prisoners. "This is to optimize the judicial effort for Amrozi and his friends." Michdan explained the review submission through the head of the penitentiary is possible as the head is like "a father" for the prisoners asking for a judicial review for "his children". To date, it is the third judicial review submitted by these prisoners. On August 2007, the Supreme Court (MA) refused their judicial review. They submitted another proposal for a review in early 2008, but the Amrozi side canceled both. Michdan said MA did not examine the judicial review thoroughly. The first review was rejected without examination. "There was no report on that review," he said. The head of the Batu penitentiary Sudiyanto acknowledged the attorney team for Amrozi "It is their right to submit a judicial review," he said. However, Sudiyanto has not received it. EKA UTAMI APRILIA +++++ http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-04/30/content_8080715.htm Bali bomber in death row to take second wife JAKARTA, April 30 (Xinhua) -- Amrozi, the convicted Bali bomber whose execution is imminent, is planning to take a second wife and hold the wedding reception at the prison island where he is being detained, his lawyer said Wednesday. "He wants to hold the reception on May 10, 2008," Mahendradatta, head of the lawyer team for Amrozi, was quoted by leading news website Detikcom as saying. But Amrozi apparently does not know the bride personally. The woman will be introduced to Amrozi several days ahead of the wedding, he said. Mahendradatta also said Amrozi planned to request a judicial review over the conviction himself without the assistance of his lawyers. Amrozi, along with his elder brother Ali Ghufron and militant leader Imam Samudra, were sentenced to death for key roles in the October 2002 nightclub bombings on Bali island that killed 202 people, mostly foreigners. The Supreme Court has upheld the verdict and rejected their earlier request for a judicial review. The three have also officially ruled out a request for a presidential pardon that becomes their final chance to avoid the capital punishment. ?
