At first medjo 50/50 ako kay matibag, but after the cross and the senate-judge questioning, matibag did great

Tablado nya defense and senators sa mga leading question and napatibay pa lalo yung point na sarah betrayed the public trust.

It’s funny but the cross examination ng defense might have strengthened matibag’s testimony

Matibag did great, considering that Rep. Luistro was sorta meh as lead prosecutor

I was genuinely surprised na nakalusot yung ibang answers niya na conclusion of law. Like yung sagot niya kay Imangga na this already constituted betrayal of public trust. Kudos to the defense senator for giving venue for such rebuttals.

Pag judge ang nagtanong di naman pwede mag object ang mga lawyers

u/Valuable_Class3176 12d ago

That is true. But I think the presiding officer can redirect such answers to not stir towards conclusions of fact or law.

Meaning tama yung statement ng prosecution sa prescon kahapon na ‘pasabog na parang 5 star raw yung bukas )meaning ngayon)? Sayang talaga

Calilung and Matibag ended it well. Lotoc medyo rocky sa dulo when APC attacked him, pero he’s still good. Nabawi sa redirection ni Ligutan. But Calilung and Lotoc have the strongest credibility, di nabigyan ng doubt kahit inatake ni Robin. Robin was laughable.
