The Black
and White Movement decries the near daily whining of Chief Justice Renato Corona’s
defense team. The prosecution claims that it may take a couple of months for it
to lay out all the evidence against CJ Corona – at the rate the defense keeps
objecting, desperately trying to obfuscate the truth, it may take much, much
longer.
The Corona
defense team’s tack seems to deny, derail and delay, and it’s latest target is
Senator Franklin Drilon. It claims that he is biased towards the prosecution
because of the tenor of his questions and should therefore recuse himself.
Really? Is getting to the truth on behalf of the people so distasteful?
Contrary to
the defense’s opinion, the Black and White Movement believes that Senator
Drilon, along with his fellow Senator Judges are just doing what they should be
doing – making sure that everything hidden is brought to light. We believe that
our Senator Judges are working on the people’s behalf. It is within their
purview to ask probing questions, to clarify what is unclear, to make sure
they, as judges, understand what both sides bring to the table.
