00:18I was able to achieve my dream.
00:21Seriously?
00:23And I was also able to confirm from the publicly available medical case studies
00:29that one of the possible causes of subarachnoid hemorrhage is aneurysm.
00:34And Inane Dexter confirmed that a few days before her death,
00:41she had a severe headache.
00:43Doc, is there a prominent symptom of ruptured aneurysm?
00:47A sudden severe headache is a key symptom of a ruptured aneurysm, attorney.
00:52In other words, it is not impossible that pre-existing ruptured aneurysm,
00:57detected or undetected, or blunt trauma is the cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage.
01:03Yes, it is not impossible.
01:05đ”
01:14As I explained earlier, it is highly probable,
01:17especially if he exhibited a key symptom of the condition before she collapsed.
01:25So Dr. Pilapil, based on your testimony,
01:29does it mean that 100% of the cause of the victim's death is aneurysm?
01:36No, attorney.
01:38What I'm saying is that there is a 50-50 probability
01:43that there is a ruptured pre-existing aneurysm
01:46because of the subarachnoid hemorrhage of the victim.
01:50But doctor, you also admit that you were not at the scene of the incident
01:56to prove what you're saying, the probability.
01:59Objection, your honor.
02:01The council knows she's crossing an expert witness and not an eyewitness.
02:06Attorney Simmons knows that.
02:08Sustained.
02:11Anymore questions, attorney Simmons?
02:18No further questions, your honor.
02:21Redirect, attorney Matias.
02:23Yes, your honor.
02:24Your honor.
02:35Dr. Pilapil, if you're saying that there is a 50-50 probability,
02:41how can you prove to this court the possibility
02:44that Dexter's pre-existing ruptured aneurysm killed him?
02:48I recommend that his autopsy and medical records be reviewed.
02:59Dexter might have been sick before.
03:02So what? Are they lying?
03:06Enough.
03:08Don't talk about my son anymore.
03:10Order. Order in the court.
03:12You have no right to talk about my sick son.
03:16Your honor, as per recommendation of the expert witness,
03:19may I request a review of Dexter Montanola's medical history report and autopsy
03:24to be diagnosed and assessed by at least two medical investigation experts.
03:29We will be formally offering those documents as part of our additional pieces of evidence
03:34and may I present the medical experts as our additional witnesses
03:39as we made the required reservations during pre-trial.
03:42Granted, attorney Matias. We will include that in the order.
03:47That would be all, your honor.
04:12Thank you.
04:43Just a moment, sir.
04:45Okay.
04:49Son.
04:52Mom, are you still going to give up?
04:55How can I give up after what you did earlier?
04:59I was fighting until the very end.
05:05You're so good, son.
05:08Win or lose, you're a good lawyer.
05:13Thank you.
05:15Thank you for teaching me to hope again.
05:20You're the reason why I had hope again.
05:26Here.
05:28Here in my heart.
05:37Thank you.
06:03In the matter of the people of the Philippines,
06:06versus Cecilia Matias,
06:09wherefore, after checking the past medical records
06:13and the autopsy of the victim, Dexter Montinola,
06:17the court finds the accused
06:22not guilty.
06:25The crime of murder under Article 246 of the revised Penal Code of the Philippines.
06:32So ordered.
06:36Session is adjourned.
06:41You're free now.
06:43I'll just sort out your release papers, Tina.
06:47We'll be together again.
06:58Why can't we get married?
07:03Ms. Montinola, I'm sorry.
07:05Once the accused is promulgated as not guilty,
07:08you can't get married because it will be a double jeopardy.
07:11This is already prohibited by the law.
07:13No, let's fight, attorney.
07:17Let's fight.
07:18Mrs. Montinola, how can we fight you?
07:22If you won't tell us the whole truth,
07:25like this, your son Dexter has a pre-existing condition that you didn't tell us.
07:32Then we should have prepared.
07:35We were against what happened.
07:39I risked my whole organization for you and my name for what?
07:50Thank God, my son is so good.
07:52Where are we going on vacation?
07:56Thank God, he has a lot of connections.
07:59Let's go on vacation.
08:02No, Tina.
08:04I just want to go home, watch TV series, rest, eat, and talk to you.
08:13Let's do everything, Tina.
08:20Let's go.
08:22Son, thank you.
08:25You didn't give up on me until the end.
08:30I didn't give up on you, Tina.
08:33I love you, Tina.
08:36I love you, my baby.
09:03I love you, Tina.
