๐ธDay 3 โ The ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝZuleika Lopezโ Traumaโ Shield Has a Massive Hole in It
Talk about an absolute self-inflicted wound by the defense panel.
For hours, defense counsel CJ Narvasa used Zuleika Lopezโs emotional distress to build a "provocation shield", and argued that the Vice President's terrifying hitman remarks were a completely human and emotional response to the "systemic oppression" of watching her chief of staff get detained by the House of Representatives.
But the second Senator-Judge @risahontiveros took their own logic to its natural legal conclusion, the defense choked.
Hontiveros asked the ultimate trap question: โIs it the position of the defense that a high-ranking official is legally or morally greenlit to make explicit death threats as long as they claim they have a "legitimate reason" to do so?โ
Suddenly, the "context" didn't matter anymore.
Narvasa panicked, immediately backpedaled, and muttered, โYour Honor, that is not the point."
The hypocrisy is loud. You can't weaponize Zuelika Lopezโ legal frustrations to fish for public sympathy, and then refuse to own the terrifying legal precedent it sets the moment you're cornered.
If the context justified the meltdown, why were they so terrified to say it out loud under the glare of the Senate? ๐คซ
Senators Alan and Pia Cayetano should reconsider this strategy of belitting non-lawyers. Baka nakakalimutan niyo majority ng mga Pilipino ay hindi abogado. May rason kung bakit hindi required na abogado ang mga Senador at Senator-Judges. Ayun ay dahil kailangan nirerepresenta nila ang mga Pilipino.
โYung mga tanong ni Senator Risa, ayan mismo ang tanong ng taumbayang hindi pa nabubulok ang utak sa pagiging DDS. Wala silang pakialam kung sa UP Law o Ateneo Law pa kayo nagtapos magkapatid. Speaking of, diba isinuka na si Alan ng Ateneo Law a few weeks ago?
Maraming salamat, Senator @risahontiveros, sa paggamit ng pwesto at plataporma mo para linawin ang mga nangyayari sa impeachment trial para mas maunawaan ng taumbayang naghalal sa inyong lahat.
a gentle reminder to our senator-judges: your role is to act as impartial judges. pls avoid giving the impression that you are lawyering for either the prosecution or the defense.
