Page two/Osman.
In this particular case, the presumption of guilt,contrary to Mr.
Osmans constitutional right, has been total. As each and every aspect
of the prosecution has been shown to be irregular, corrupt, tainted,
perjured or damaged, the judges of the High Court, for which you
are responsible, have sided with the prosecution.
I will remind you that;
1. The special prosecutor, who collected the evidence against Mr.
Osman in Malaysia, is in jail serving eight years for corruption.
2. The chief witness for the Crown has been disgraced and branded
a liar by a judge in the HK High Court, in which he may, yet be
called to give evidence.

3. A key cabinet minister in the Government which requested
Mr Osmans prosecution has been implicated in both a murder in
the case and in a potential $50m bribe.
4. The Governor of HK warned the Foreign Secretary that the Malaysian
Attorney General had "Interests other than those of justice on
his mind" in requesting the prosecution.
5. The Malaysian Government, which requested the prosecution, now
claims to have lost forever, up to 65% of the key defence evidence,
including almost all the bank files and minutes relating to the
loans that Mr.Osman is alleged to have made without authority.
I will remind you that part of the evidence collected by the jailed
prosecutor, relates directly to the 'lost' source documents.
Long before the jailing of the DDPP and the discovery of the political
background to the case in the Foreign and Commonwealth cables,
Mr Osman told me that the reason he did not wish to return to
HK was because the prosecution was corrupt and the case was political.
Time, the fate of the DDPP and the FCO cables have proved him wholly
correct in his assumptions.
