The AGC is not the Court. The Prosecution's (DPP) role is different from the Court. Both are completely different in powers and jurisdiction.<br /><br />2. The DPP decides on the charges against Wu and the Court imposes the sentences based on the charges preferred. The leniency or otherwise of the charges is the prerogative of the DPP and not the Court's. <br /><br />3. The decision as to whether or not there is contempt does not rest with the DPP. It is the Court that decides. Simply put, it is the contempt of "Court" and not contempt of "the Prosecution". The latter does not exist. Therefore it is not for the AGC to decide if there was, in fact, a contempt.<br /><br />4. The most the AGC can do is to make a complaint to the Court to initiate contempt proceedings, but that is all the AGC can do. Ultimately the Court decides.<br /><br />5. Unlike the charges against Wu, which is only the Prosecution's prerogative, the Court can order contempt proceedings against blogger ON ITS OWN, with or without any initiative of the AGC; and with or without any apology from blogger. It would be wrong to suggest that since blogger has apologised, the Court may not proceed with contempt proceedings. The Court still can and no assurances can be given by the AGC otherwise.<br />--<br /><br />In short, there is no business for AGC to demand apology and retract statement. So did they act <br /><br />1) kindly "with good intentions" for a general warning and light touch<br />2) kindly with internal knowledge that Court may attempt contempt charges?<br />3) to call it a bluff and to silent further critics and scrutiny from public?<br /><br />It pays to know your rights.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
