When walking, Novanto seen assisted by two officers, as seen in this photo:
Not only that, Setya Novanto also just silent and ducked after the judge tapped the hammer, which became a marker of the commencement of the trial.
In fact, the Golkar Party Chairman did not answer the judge's questions about his name and age. There was not a word spoken from Novanto's lips when asked by the judge.
According to Novanto's lawyer, Maqdir Ismail, his client was indeed sick so unable to answer.
Different things delivered KPK prosecutor, Irene Putrie. According to Irene, Novanto admitted that the diarrhea caused to the toilet up to 20 times since Tuesday (12/12/201) night.
However, Irene stated that based on the recognition of guards at KPK Detention Center, Novanto only to toilet twice. Irene also stated that Novanto is healthy and ready for trial.
The judge briefly delayed the trial when Novanto cleared the toilet. After Novanto returned to sit on the bench, the judge again asked the name and age of Novanto to start the trial.
Again Novanto did not answer. Seeing the response given Setya Novanto, the judge was surprised because he saw Novanto can communicate with his legal counsel.
