By MANILA, Philippines — The prosecution team will discuss issues involving the threshold needed to convict Vice President Sara Duterte once the pre-trial conference is over, Batangas Rep. Gerville Luistro said on Friday.
Luistro was asked in an online interview whether the threshold issue — or proposals to lower the minimum number of votes needed to convict Duterte after the impeachment trial due to several senators’ absence — was discussed during the pre-trial conference.
According to Luistro, head of the public prosecution panel for the trial, they will tackle the matter — including a possibility that they will go to the Supreme Court (SC) — once the pre-trial conference is over.
