林鼎:举证责任在诉方梁实轩无需答辩 诉讼展延下月30日陈词

总理李显龙提告时评人梁实轩的诽谤诉讼,于本周二开始在高庭公堂审理。 在聆讯第二日(7日),诉方传召专家证人潘光俊(Tuan Quang Phan)博士,希望能说明诽谤性贴文的流传度。总理李显龙亦身着粉红衬衫和灰色西服出庭旁听。 梁实轩在昨午选择不出庭供证。他的代表律师林鼎认为,梁并没有供证的必要,举证的责任应在原告李总理身上,且大多事项都可透过书面陈词解决。 林鼎也形容诉方的指控是轻率(frivolous)、无理取闹(vexatious)和侮辱人的(abusive),辩方不会参与举证。有鉴于辩方不供证,案件也展延至11月30日,在法庭陈词。 林鼎在前日盘问李显龙。林鼎也指方式总理也承认未有直接证据,例如梁实轩转发相关贴文的截图。当时,林鼎质问是谁举报梁分享帖文时,李总理表示不记得了。林鼎因此指出,鉴于针对其委托人的诽谤诉讼的严重性,李总理的理据实在是“令人难以接受”。 不过, 总理首席辩护律师文达星在昨日则抗议梁实轩选择沉默,也指对方没办法为自己辩驳。 文达星强调辩方选择不答辩的理由“虚假”(contrived),诉方立场明确。他指责梁实轩的诽谤行为不仅限于转发不实报导,还包括在诉讼程序后,仍吸引民众关注有关诉讼、让民众注意到有关报导的冒犯内容。 林鼎则回应,他是在征询当事人同意后,决定辩方无需答辩,同时这也是因为起诉人的诉讼,是毫无根据和可笑的,且这无关乎勇气,而是不愿助长起诉人的目的,污染“正义的泉源”( pollute…
