Posted at 02/12/2012 10:40 PM
The defense lawyers of Chief Justice Renato Corona said they received information that Malacanang is offering senator-judges with P100 million each in exchange for snubbing the Supreme Court-issued halt order on the opening of his alleged dollar accounts.

kangaroo court!
the senate sitting as an impeachment court allowed itself to be used and abused for persecution campaign and for fishing expedition. first, it rejected the motion of the defense to set a preliminary hearing. thus wasting the time of the impeachment court in the conduct of such hearing.
the senate in exercise of liberality has gone overboard in admitting questionable evidences coming from the pro...secution. take for instance the issuance of subpoena to PS bank and BPI. the bank documents submitted by the prosecution instrumental to the issuance of subpoena is evidently acquired illegally. the president of PS bank himself said during the hearing that no one from their bank has allowed the release of such documents. he further argued that there are differences between the bank documents of corona in PS bank and the documents presented by the prosecution.
if the president of PS bank is saying that they did not allow the release of such documents, and that no one from their bank has ever released such documents, it is safe to say that the bank documents presented by the prosecution is either fake or illegal. since the senate allowed the prosecution to use such documents acquired illegally, then they as an impeachment court lose the credibility to hear and decide this impeachment case.
the SC should stop the impeachment of corona, now!

the truth!
ACCUSATION: article 2 of the impeachment complaint alleges corona for violation of the constitution and or betrayed public trust when he failed to declare his SALN.
paragraph 2.1 and 2.2 of article 2 alleges the non-disclosure of CJ's SALN.
THE TRUTH: after sen-judge drilon managed to extract the SALN of corona, it marked a clear victory for the defense panel. after the impeachment court proved that corona regularly files his SALN, the prosecution announced that they are abandoning the accusation of non-disclosure of SALN since it was clearly proven that the defendant regularly files his SALN.
paragraph 2.3 of article 2: alleges that the CJ failed to declare some of his properties accurately in his SALN and that he committed perjury.
THE TRUTH: it was proven that the prosecution's accusation that corona owned 45 properties is nothing but a bloated list. more importantly, the law allows corrections in CJ's SALN. that being the case, no law has been violated not even perjury is applicable.
paragraph 2.4 of article 2: alleges that corona amassed ill-gotten wealth.
THE TRUTH: what many people should know is that the senate itself made a ruling that par. 2.4 of article 2 will no longer be tackled since article 2 itself does not allege corona of amassing ill-gotten wealth. the prosecution is prohibited by the senate impeachment court to tackle par. 2.4 of article 2. the prosecution needed to cure article 2 or toss the impeachment complaint back to prostituted congress before they can be allowed to touch the issue of ill-gotten wealth.
Nice try defense!!! try harder next time!
This is a sign of hopelessness, desperation, and an act of a loser. These so called “ abogado de campanilla” are now resorting to unconventional way hoping that a turn of event will favor them. As their strategy is eroding and the overwhelming evidences are coming out, these defense lawyers were caught in the losing end. Their last resort is the dirty work. What a shame….This is self -destruction….I feel sorry for these lawyers cause they committed to defend a losing client.
Good try defense lawyer!!! Try hard later!!! Be creative. You need a good story writer to come up with convincing gossip. Maybe you can try " Sleep little cookie monster".
source
the defense dont need to name their source, but they can name who among the senator-judges was first approach. that is if the defense has balls, and guts for the lady who has changeable mind. first, she opposed corona's appointment, now she's defending corona. her services must be so utterly 'pro bono' that she compromised her principles.
The defense should better ask
The defense should better ask Sen. Joker Arroyo and Sen. Santiago if they receive the amount.
What a stupid defense by
What a stupid defense by corona lawyer. They suppose to be topnotch lawyers in the Philippines? Produce what the court asked then its done deal. Instead of calling this conference you make fun of yourself. What you’re saying your hiding something you don’t want people to know period.
Kung bubuksan din naman pala
Kung bubuksan din naman pala eh bakit kailangan pa ng TRO? defense panel were very inconsisitent. Since the SALN battle and now the bank accounts issue. Dalian nyo ang pag "magic'. Let's all stick to issue, are these declared in his SALN? In short, tinatago niya ang kanyang yaman . Sa nangyayari ngayon , kahit hindi na talakayin ang ibang articles of impeachment - cguradong guilty na si Corona.
