The Impeachment trial of Supreme Court CJ Renato Corona begins tomorrow, January 16 at around 2 pm and the prosecution believes that they are the underdogs in the Corona trial.
“He doesn’t only have a stable of lawyers but a call center of attorneys to take care of his defense,” Tañada said. “That is not unexpected because any lawyer in this land would give an arm and a leg just to be on the good side of the Chief Justice.”
For his part, Deputy Majority Leader Miro Quimbo said: “We admit that CJ Corona's high priced legal team have been practicing litigation law their entire lives. They are clearly legal giants. But they should never forget what happened in the Valley of Elah several centuries ago. It was a small man named David who slew the giant Goliath.”
Nonetheless, the prosecution team has on its side a “good number of good private lawyers” who were “not even given free coffee.”
“At the end of the day, our prosecution team and their volunteer lawyers will carry the day for the people because truth and the people are on their side,” Tañada added.
