MANILA, Philippines – The atmosphere at the impeachment court had never been as tense as it was — so far — on Wednesday, August 12, 15 days into the trial of Vice President Sara Duterte.
Counsels for the opposing parties — private prosecutor Lorna Kapunan and defense lawyer Kristine Ferrer — butted heads numerous times and apparently prompted Kapunan’s co-prosecutor Amando Virgil Ligutan to post online. The Facebook post did not sit well with lead defense lawyer Sheila Sison, who called out Ligutan before the open court on Wednesday.
