The legal proceedings against aesthetic doctor Richard Lee at the Tangerang District Court have progressed through various evidentiary hearings involving allegations of consumer rights violations and breaches of health laws.

During initial hearings, testimony from Dr. Janet Aprilia Stanzah was challenged by an individual known as Doktif, who questioned the credibility of the witness regarding the presence of stem cell stickers at the defendant’s clinic. The defense, led by attorney Faizal Hafied, indicated plans to present several witnesses, including a national figure, to support Richard Lee’s defense.

By early October, the defense raised formal protests regarding the trial’s procedural fairness. Counsel argued that the time allocated for the defense to present witnesses and experts was significantly shorter than the time granted to the prosecution. During these sessions, the defense presented witnesses such as entrepreneur Fitri Salhuteru to testify that the products involved met necessary standards for safety, quality, and efficacy.
