INQUIRER FILE PHOTO<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Lawyers of Chief Justice Renato Corona on Tuesday said they respected the decision of the Senate impeachment court to deny their motion to exclude Corona\u2019s bank records as evidence in his impeachment trial, but they would block the prosecution\u2019s offer of evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Tranquil Salvador III, one of the defense panel\u2019s spokespersons, said the Senate decision covered only the defense motion to suppress evidence and not the prosecution\u2019s formal offer of evidence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have yet to file our objection to the formal offer of evidence. We will file it (Wednesday) and the (Senate) will have to resolve it by Thursday,\u201d Salvador said in a mobile phone interview.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if they would appeal the Senate\u2019s ruling, he said: \u201cWe are still considering our options. But for now, we will just file our objection and reiterate the reasons why the bank records (should not) be admitted by the court.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the defense panel would oppose the inclusion of Corona\u2019s bank records as evidence because \u201cits offer was misleading\u201d since the documents were supposedly presented by the prosecution panel in support of its allegation in Paragraph 2.4 of the second article of impeachment.<\/p>\n<p>Salvador said Paragraph 2.4, which accused Corona of amassing ill-gotten wealth, had been stricken from the records by the Senate as part of the impeachment complaint.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(The bank documents) were introduced in connection with the ill-gotten wealth allegation. But that is no longer a reason (for impeachment),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSecond, the source is questionable. It violates the exclusionary (provision of the rules of evidence),\u201d the lawyer added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lawyers of Chief Justice Renato Corona on Tuesday said they respected the decision of the Senate impeachment court to deny their motion to exclude Corona\u2019s bank records as evidence in his impeachment trial, but they would block the prosecution\u2019s offer of evidence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":140253,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[481,36,37],"tags":[206083,300,49,91,52,634,25597,512,206124],"byline":[192],"source":[206078],"column":[],"editor":[],"videographer":[],"position":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Defense bows to court decision;
