A mountain cannot trip someone up, but a stone or a pebble can.

This old Chinese saying may describe the trial impacting the career of the reputable Antasari Azhar, the chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), who started his detention on Monday.

Police have accused Antasari of masterminding the murder of Nasruddin Zulkarnaen, the former director of the state firm PT Putra Rajawali Nusantara Banjaran.
