Corona had no plan to be cross-examined. He used the
impeachment court as a platform to voice his side of the conflict, leaving his
defense ignorant of his own strategic endgame. He knew that he could no longer
stay in the Supreme Court, guilty or not, with so much blood spilled theoretically
between him and the president. Since the impeachment is a political exercise, he decided to bring his case to the people. In fact, his 3 hours opening statement was not addressed to the court; it was addressed to the people, and he
will not give his detractors the luxury of dismantling his case. Since the
impeachment court need not prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt to convict him, he likewise created enough doubt as to his guilt or innocence that will forever leave the people divided. In the end, guilty or not, Corona is a
winner. TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN :-)
