Call for balance should also apply to senator-judges – Kapunan

In the Philippine trial involving Vice President Sara Duterte, lawyer Lorna Kapunan pointed out that the senator-judges should practice the same balance they're calling for after the prosecution withdrew their witnesses. This move came after the prosecution felt conclusions of law and fact had been reached. Kapunan's comments highlight the importance of fairness and impartiality in judicial processes, stressing that all parties, including senator-judges, must adhere to these principles for the integrity of the legal system to be maintained. This situation underscores the ongoing debate about the roles and responsibilities of those who serve in both legislative and judicial capacities.
