KUALA LUMPUR: The magistrates’ court here today acquitted and discharged singer Jason Lo from a charge of self-administration of drugs three years ago.
Magistrate Fared Abdul Latif acquitted Lo, 47, who is also a businessman, after finding that the prosecution had failed to establish a prima facie case at the end of the prosecution’s case against him.
“The accused is acquitted and discharged from the charge without having to enter a defence and the RM2,500 bail will be returned.
“The grounds of judgment will be provided on or before June 30,” said Fared.
Deputy public prosecutor Nur Diana Mohamad Saad appeared for the prosecution while Lo was represented by lawyer Hariharan Tara Singh.
