跟进:莎拉弹劾法庭休庭至东盟峰会之后:11月13日庭审取消,辩方还剩约8至10名证人

菲律宾副总统莎拉弹劾审判第 43 天庭审 11 月 12 日结束后,主持法官、参议院议长 Francis Escudero 批准辩方首席律师 Sheila Sison 的请求,取消原定 11 月 13 日(周五)的庭审。法庭随后休庭,要等到马尼拉本月主办的东盟峰会结束之后才复庭,报道没有给出具体复庭日期。
到第 43 天结束时,辩方在四个庭审日里共传唤了六名证人出庭。辩方表示,接下来还剩约 8 至 10 名证人要传唤。弹劾条款目前只剩第二条,即不明财产与资产负债申报不实一条,银行记录已经作为案件证据在案。
辩方 11 日与 12 日先后撤下全部 16 名银行人员证人,控方所提约 8.17 亿比索不明财产估算至今未获辩方正面回应,本站已在跟进稿中报道。法庭复庭后,辩方将继续就第二条弹劾条款举证。

Follow-Up: Sara Duterte Impeachment Court Adjourns Until After the ASEAN Summit; November 13 Session Canceled, Defense Has About 8 to 10 Witnesses Left
After the 43rd day of Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte's impeachment trial ended on November 12, the presiding officer, Senate President Francis Escudero, granted a request by lead defense counsel Sheila Sison to cancel the session scheduled for Friday, November 13. The court then adjourned until after the ASEAN Summit that Manila is hosting this month; reports gave no specific date for the trial to resume.
By the end of the 43rd day, the defense had presented six witnesses over four hearing days. The defense says it still has about eight to ten witnesses left to present. Only Article II of the impeachment articles remains, concerning unexplained wealth and inaccurate asset declarations, and the bank records are already part of the case evidence.
On November 11 and 12 the defense withdrew all 16 bank officials from its witness list, and it has yet to directly answer the prosecution's estimate of about 817 million pesos in unexplained wealth, as GSM reported in its follow-up coverage. When the court resumes, the defense will continue presenting its case on Article II.
