The senate must now assume sitting as Jury the
presumption of guilt and find the CJ guilty as hell. If the defense thinks that
they score a point; they are wrong for whatever reasonable defense they will put
up; the people will think of ” flight” for what can you call CJ panic in
seeking for a TRO (to stop the revelation of his dollar accounts) as a sign of
guilt. The defense is trying to condition people’s mind that this is a criminal
court where guilt has to be proven beyond reasonable doubt but the senate is no
ordinary people. They know that in an impeachment court; all the prosecution
need is to establish a “reasonable doubt” as to the fitness of the CJ to
continue sitting as one CJ. As in the case of
Estrada; the prosecutors instead of walking out (no to the opening of Erap’s
accounts) should now rest their case. They have established enough reasonable doubt
to impeach the CF. They should rest
their case while the dollar account hangs over the head of Corona like the
sword of Damocles; like the envelope containing alleged accounts of Estrada.
Corona’s dollar account like Estrada’s unopened envelope is better left locked
in the bank’s computers…
