00:00Dr. Erting, when you talk about it, do you think it's an acquittal threshold?
00:11Do you think it's an acquittal threshold?
00:15Do you think it's an acquittal threshold?
00:17Well, that's what happens.
00:19Because, of course, there are two-thirds of that.
00:24So, one-third, naturally, it's an acquittal threshold.
00:26And I think it's also said that it's also said that when you talk about it, not last week, but
00:34even two weeks ago,
00:36when there was such a discussion between the senator judges in open court.
00:41I think it's also said that if you go above two-thirds, naturally, you go above one-third.
00:47But as to what will happen, of course, that will be subject to the oral arguments that will be conducted
00:54this Wednesday.
00:55So, mas magiging madali ba sa inyo kumuha ng number for acquittal?
00:59Kung baka pa din ang threshold para sa acquittal?
01:01Hindi pa namin niniisip ng gano'ng bagay eh.
01:04Kasi very firm, obviously, kami sa position namin.
01:08Kung ano man yun, you'll find out on Wednesday.
01:10But hindi namin kinonsider yung ganyang bagay.
01:25I mean it really would be this.
