"I accept it, Your Honor," said Catherine Wilson.

Article 114 is the article that the prosecutor's office filed against Catherine on charges of drug dealing. The article states, 'Any person without authority or against the law offers for sale, sells, buys, receives, acts as an intermediary in buying and selling, exchanges, or delivers non-plant Class 1 narcotics'.

2. Legal Counsel Demands Evidence

Meanwhile, Keket's legal counsel, Verna Wahono and Andri Hartoni, stated that Article 114 is not appropriate to be charged against the 39-year-old woman. However, Andri still allows the prosecutor's office to exercise their rights, and they will still ask the prosecutor's office to prove the allegations related to drug dealing.

"Yes, that is indeed the prosecutor's right. But this is a court, we will see how the legal process unfolds. We just want the prosecutor to prove that article. Of course, we also ask the prosecutor to prove the denial of that article," said Andri Hartoni.

"That's right, we are currently following the legal process in the trial," added Verna Wahono.
