To mb: corect ka dyan. Is about time to adopt Grand Jury Trial. its more democratic,Constitutionally compliant, prevents bribery and collution between judge and prosecution. There’s a group spear headed by certain Marlowe of USA,urging our govt to apply this system I hoped they succeed.

Diyoskopo pordiyos porsanto Midas. Trial by publicity ay issue lang kung meron tayong trial by jury. Meron ba? Eh wala pala. Judge dito ang humahatol based on evidence. Emotions do not play a part in court decisions around here. But money does in many cases. It’s called trial by currency.

It would have been ok if the intent was truly for due process… but in the Philippine corrupt legal system what they do is always suspect and as Biazon pointed out, there is a need for transparency so we can all see that due process is indeed observed.

Just the mere fact that these lawyers allowed themselves to be hired (and they number 50 I believe) is already demoralizing to me. If you want to sue a Lopez or a Conjuangco, you think you can get as many lawyers, even if you sweat money?
