Under the trial's current format, the prosecution should finish the presentation of all four impeachment articles before the defense team can show its own evidence and witnesses
MANILA, Philippines – The prosecution panel in the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte is proposing to the court to alternate with the defense team on the presentation of evidence.
“Such an approach enables the impeachment court and the parties to focus on one article of impeachment at a time, thereby promoting a more organized and coherent presentation of evidence and facilitating a clearer appreciation of the factual and legal issues unique to each charge,” read the prosecution’s manifestation, electronically filed on Monday, July 27.
