"WALA NANG OBSTACLE PARA MAGPRISINTA DAPAT ANG DEFENSE"
House private prosecutor Atty. Lorna Kapunan said the impeachment court’s recent rulings have cleared the way for Vice President Sara Duterte’s defense to start submitting evidence when the trial resumes on Monday, Nov. 9.
During a press conference on Friday, Nov. 6, Kapunan noted that the court’s decision to accept the prosecution’s evidence and reject the defense’s objections to attaching documentary exhibits to the impeachment complaint and using subpoenas to get records. She said the complaint only needs to show the main facts and that using subpoenas is within the court’s authority, not a “fishing expedition.”
The court also accepted Duterte’s financial records from before she became vice president. The prosecution plans to use these as a baseline to review her income and net worth. Kapunan explained that admitting evidence does not mean the court agrees with the prosecution’s claims, since the senator-judges still need to consider the value of each piece of evidence.
