INQUIRER: DORONILA
The President was making a pronouncement on the weight of the evidence of the prosecution, although he is not accredited as a participant. He is an outsider offering gratuitous advice of little probative value in the trial. If he were not President, the court could have hustled him out as a nuisance. He is not a prosecutor. He is not a judge at the trial. And yet, he is pronouncing judgement, usurping the function of the Senate court. He is telling senator-judges how they would vote in the way he wants it to happen. If he were an ordinary citizen, the judge would have declared him in contempt of court.
