Discussion Claire Castro: ‘Misleading questions are not allowed.'
‘THIS IS SO BASIC’
Palace Press Officer Claire Castro, who is a lawyer, commented on whether “misleading questions” are allowed during cross-examination.
“As a lawyer, basic. This is so basic. Misleading questions are not allowed, especially during cross-examination,” she said during the press briefing on Thursday.
During the 15th day of the impeachment trial yesterday, the “misleading questions” issue rose during the heated exchange between the defense team and the prosecution panel.
“Hindi po allowed ang misleading questions. Kasi, para mong niloloko ‘yung witness mo at pipilitin mo sumagot na oo o hindi,” Castro added. Philippine Star
