Zaid Ibrahim (left) says critical evidence was not made available to the defence and it will be unsafe to convict Najib Razak based on the prosecution’s case as presented.

PETALING JAYA: Former law minister Zaid Ibrahim has cautioned against a miscarriage of justice in Najib Razak’s trial in the SRC International case at the Court of Appeal.
