A prima facie case has been made against the cop accused in the fatal shooting of teenager Aminulrasyid Amzah.

Shah AlaNONEm Sessions judge Latifah Mohd Tahar ruled that there is suffcicent evidence to show that Jenain Subi, 48, may have fired the shot that killed the teen on April 26 last year.

She fixed April 14-15 for the defence case.

Jenain (left) assumed the 'at-ease' position with his hands behind his back and was quite calm, although his arms twitched several times as if in nervous anticipation.

The public gallery was generally quiet when Latifah delivered her decision. 

Jenain is charged under Section 304(A) of the Penal Code, for culpable homicide not amounting to murder which carries a 30-year jail term and fine upon conviction.

The ruling was delivered to a courtroom full of reporters, observers and family members from both sides, including a deputation of the late Aminulrasyid's schoolmates.

The trial also attracted the attention of about 12 cops who filed into the courtroom at the start of proceedings.

Grounds for decision

Latifah said the exhibits had helped in establishing a prima facie case against Jenain.

Testimony had placed the NONEaccused at the scene and there is reasonable evidence to show that his weapon may have fired the fatal shot.

"It is clear that there was intent on part of the accused. He shot with the knowledge that he could kill or injure the victim.

"The car (driven by Aminulrasyid, right) was clearly swerving and looked like it was going to lose control," she said.

"It posed no danger to other road users or to the police vehicles at the time."
