REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- The panel of judges repeatedly admonished the police witness in the religious blasphemy’s trial, Brigadier Ahmad Hamdani, in the auditorium of the Ministry of Agriculture, Jakarta, Tuesday. He considered to be not seriously undergoing the trial.
Previously, the judge tried to confirm different information about the number of complainants came to the Bogor Police. Brigadier Ahmad said there were four people who came, while the complainant, Willyudin, stated there were only two people came.
''So which were true, two or four?'' asked the judge.
However, Hamdani replied with hesitation and laughing. ''There were four, not two,'' he said.

Looking at the indifference of the witness, the judge scolded, ''Be decisive, don't laugh. Be firm, you have embarrassed, humiliate the corps if you don’t answer firmly,'' said the judge.
The judge also asked whether he corrected the miss typed on Willyudin’s report. Hamdani answered that the letter has been corrected. “Are you sure it has been corrected? Why is it still typed as ‘September 6’?'' the judge asked.
Seeing Hamdani was doubt, the judges reiterated. ''You didn't correct the date ‘September 6’ to be ‘October 6’ from the complainant?''
However, Ahmad again replied not seriously. ''Do not laugh, be serious. You understand my Indonesian language, I guess,'' said the judge reprimanded.
