Impeachment court Presiding Officer Francis "Chiz" Escudero on Thursday, Nov. 11, reminded his fellow senator-judges and members of the prosecution and defense panels, to exercise restraint when dealing with the testimonies made by witnesses presented during the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte.
Escudero cited the rights and obligations of trial witnesses, such as the right to be protected from insulting questions, "not to be detained any longer than the interest of justice required", and not to be examined except on matters associated with an issue.
The Presiding Officer reminded senator-judges and panel members to exercise restraint towards witnesses, despite frustration over answers which may be perceived as unsatisfactory, which he also stated that such remarks are not necessarily subject to contempt.
This, particularly over remarks such as: "I do not know", "I do not recall", which in recent trial dates tested the patience of senator-judges. (Video courtesy of Senate of the Philippines)
