The police witnesses admitted in Court that they did not carry out any forensic tests (serology) on the patients who allegedly received saline injections instead of proper vaccine. In other words, the patients believed that they had received saline injections and such belief was based solely on the verbal confirmation of Dr Jipson to the patients.
If that is the case, Dr Jipson can now claim that the patients had in fact received proper vaccines such as Sinopharm or Sinovac, and the police will NOT be able to prove otherwise since it's too late to do a serology test on the patients. The prosecution can prefer a new charge against Dr Jipson for some dishonesty charges [against the patients], but the charges in relation to HPB over fake COVID shots will have to be dropped because the prosecution has simply no evidence that will prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the patients did not receive the proper vaccine. Yes, there may still be doubts over whether the proper vaccines were administered, but the benefit of the doubt is exclusively the prerogative of the accused.
If the prosecution cannot prove Dr Jipson, the principal accused, cheated HPB over fake COVID shots, then surely Iris Koh must also be deemed innocent.

Cb I have lost touched with this case KNN
I read briefly what you posted now and think that the serology test should be the first thing that needed to be done during the time when hpb issued the charges.
That's why long ago, I had asked you why the test wasn't done, and now is too late.
And now seem like iris and loctor can get off the hook, since prosecutor cannot prove that saline was given.
Lucky for them lor.
As to your question of "is iris clear minded" I can't tell now as I'm lost in jungle.
Who is the "I" in your post?
Iris.

You should read the testimony of Cedric before you start clapping for Iris.

Is this an example of what iris claimed about the hearsay?
If prosecutor cannot prove it, and only based on witness claims, it is considered a hearsay, isn't it?
Or if there are many witnesses, then it will no longer a hearsay?
Yes, when Iris cross-examined the IO, she was referring to the testimony of the IO (Tian) who took the statement of Cedric Lim, the Grab patient.
Iris did not explain what hearsay was. Hearsay is not just an English word. It's a legal term which carries its own legal definition.

Fabrication needed by police? I thought I can only see it in Korea drama?
Adter police investigation, last line of defence is the court but I have lost confidence in our judicial system too. Does SG still have good moral in all the public servants including the press?

From the current info gathered, I think iris can get off the hook for this charge.
Spf doesn't seem to have solid proof to charge her conspiracy with loctor.
The rest of the charges, maybe can, but those are minor charges.
Iris should have asked : "Did the police conduct a serology test on Cedric to prove that he was NOT administered with the vaccine?"
This way, the IO cannot say "I'm not aware." If IO die die say "I'm not aware," then Iris can say : "That is to say you are not able to verify the truth of Cedric's statement with respect to whether it was saline or vaccine that was being administered." This time, IO cannot say "I'm not aware" liao because it's not a question of awareness; it's whether the IO can verify or cannot verify. And having said she was not aware if the police conducted any serology test on Cedric, she can only conclude that she cannot verify the allegation that Cedric was administered with saline.
The objective of cross examining the IO with respect to the "statement taking" of Cedric is to identify if there was any procedural irregularities that would render the statement inadmissible - such as coercion.
Q.11 is irrelevant because it concerns the standard of proof as in what evidence is required in order to convict the accused. It's the domain of the judge, not the IO. If Iris thinks that the evidence is insufficient to convict her, this ought to be a submission to the Court after cross examination, and not an answer to be elicited from the IO.
Q.12 is also irrelevant because the IO is not the prosecuting officer. Again, if Iris thinks that a serology test is required as evidence and the prosecuting officer hasn't been able to meet the standard of proof, it's a submission that she should make to the Court, not a question that she should ask the IO.
These 2 questions achieved nothing for Iris, to be honest. Beating someone to puppy may be shiok for the ego, but it may not necessarily achieve the desired outcome.

I think better send you there as the controller of the hearing, then the case need not drag so long KNN
If Iris was referring to the statement of Cedric, she cannot allege that the IO was relying on hearsay because Cedric testified personally in Court. It's no longer a hearsay.
The prosecutor is not stupid. He will make every witness testify in Court. There is no issue of hearsay. Iris should have cross examined Cedric when the latter took to the stand. According to Cedric, the Dr put two vials on the table - one saline and another vaccine - and let him choose. Cedric chose saline. Then the Dr removed the vials from the table. This last part is important.
At this point, Iris or her lawyer should have asked Cedric that since the vials were removed from the table, subsequently when the Dr returned to administer the liquid, did he witness the Dr drawing the liquid from the saline bottle ? The Dr could have given him the real vaccine.

As long as got witness, then is not a hearsay, even if the witness does not have physical proof of what he had said? And upto the judge to determine if the witness word is true?If Iris was referring to the statement of Cedric, she cannot allege that the IO was relying on hearsay because Cedric testified personally in Court. It's no longer a hearsay.

Actually whatever happened in the clinic at that point of time has no cctv and can only leely on what they wished to say de woh.
Imho only serology test can tell the real storlee,and it was not done.
If A says she is a virgin, and B repeats what A says about herself, it's hearsay.
If A says she is a virgin, and A goes to the witness stand to repeat the statement in Court it's not a hearsay.
That she did make that statement is no longer a hearsay. But whether she is a virgin or not is an entirely different matter.
Okay boh, Mr Clear Minded ?
