Lawyers from both the public prosecution panel and the defense panel have separately admitted that the pre-trial stage for Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment proceedings might not yet end on Tuesday, as both camps have to mark a voluminous amount of documents.
In an ambush interview at the Senate, before the third day of the pre-trial conference, lead public prosecutor and Batangas Rep. Gerville Luistro said that while everything went well on Monday, there are many documents that the prosecution and the defense must review separately.
“It went well, except that there are really a lot of documents that need to be marked because that is the requirement of the rule in this pre-trial conference. But we will be continuing today and we hope that it will be finished at the soonest possible time. Although it’s quite hard to finish it today,” she said.
