Defense’s use of VP Duterte’s threat video amounts to confession

The defense inadvertently admitted the validity of Vice President Sara Duterte’s recorded threats by using the video in their arguments, effectively confessing to the statements she allegedly made. This move has complicated their case, as it undermines their earlier claims of the video's inauthenticity. The private prosecution counsel seized on this, asserting that the defense's action leaves no room for disputing the video’s authenticity. This situation underscores the critical importance of evidence integrity in legal proceedings.
