On the court record
Faizal @ Amrin Bin Noor Hadi appears in the reported decisions on the prosecution side, acting for the Public Prosecutor in a series of drug-trafficking appeals in the Court of Appeal.
The appeals concern convictions under section 39B(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, several read together with section 34 of the Penal Code. In them the accused, as appellants, challenged their convictions and sentences on familiar grounds — that the High Court had failed to evaluate the defence properly, that the accused had no knowledge of the existence of the drugs and was unaware that the transaction involved their sale and purchase, and that there had been entrapment by a third party. As prosecution counsel, the task in each was to defend the conviction and the reasoning of the trial court.
The severity of the sentences under challenge is a constant feature of these matters. In one appeal the accused had been sentenced to life imprisonment and fifteen strokes of the cane, with the argument turning on the alleged incompetence of trial counsel and on presumed possession under section 37(d) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. In another the accused had been sentenced to thirty years' imprisonment from the date of arrest and twelve strokes of the cane, with the appeal turning on whether the accused had custody and control of a backpack, whether he had rented the room in question, and whether a mixed DNA profile supported a defence that a third person was involved.
On this record the practice is criminal appellate work on the prosecution side, concentrated in the most serious drug-trafficking matters, where the recurring task is to defend a conviction against arguments on knowledge, possession, the statutory presumptions and the conduct of the trial below. It is work at the most serious end of the criminal calendar, carried out on behalf of the State against convicted persons seeking to overturn their convictions.
