Student protests, looting and fires destruction at France

It is more fun criticizing

There seems to be some trouble in France.   Protesters allegedly numbering half million protested :  fought police, looted stores, torched some buildings and destroyed properties. They were alleged student protests on old school buildings, lack of facilities, lack of teachers.    But the pictures told otherwise...  Scores of policemen were injured;    many were arrested...

Lets pray for France.  We are much better here in the PHL?

GMA network - Prosecution withdraws 3 other articles of impeachment

Tribune - Tijam - due process concerns, could be ground for mistrial

Presiding Judge Escudero, gave a lengthy ruling given the limited time on allowing the Prosecution to withdraw 3 of 4 Articles of Impeachment  and to focus on Artile 2 - unexplained wealth.   It was observed that the entire defense team was unable to effectively squirm our of the numbers presented by the "forensic expert"   Numberd dont tell a lie.

However such withdrawal is subject o comments and opinion:

1.  If it was strategy and pre determined it could be termed as brilliant;

2.  However, it could be viewed as unjust:

     1.  The defense lost its day to refute the evidences for the other 3;

     2.  The evidence presented for the 3 other articles remain with the court

     3.  The familiar refrain from from the Cayetanos -  "What has been shown and discussed cant be unheard or unseen.

The other commentators remarked that the court must be expunged of the evidences of the 3 other articles by either the Prosecution or the judge senators.   However the greater challenge is as according to former Supreme Court Justice, is the possibility of declaration of mistrial...

This happens when there is no corruption or corruption is punished by execution.

ABS CBN - Prosecution drops 3 other Articles of Impeachment

The prosecution seem too sure of its case and would rather drop 3 of the 4 articles of impeachment and impeachment of VPSD is now becoming clearer?    The defense could only resort to theatrics and could not  rebut the numbers presented by the forensic witness.  With the threshold vote lowered, there is nothing much the defense could do but expect the prosecution success?
