00:00Attorney Ignacio, I can't believe that you changed the keystone to become the co-counsel
00:21of Attorney Lilet.
00:23Some would say that's career suicide.
00:27It's not career suicide, Attorney Renan.
00:29It's called fulfilling my sworn duty to protect the innocent and fight for justice.
00:37I see.
00:38But are you ready for the fight?
00:41Do you know what you're getting yourself into?
00:45I'm curious to know, Attorney.
00:46Please, indulge me.
00:47How does a rookie like you expect to win against a seasoned criminal lawyer like myself?
00:54I know you have more experience than I do.
00:58But I have one big advantage that you don't have.
01:01And that is?
01:04I have the truth at my fingertips.
01:07Because Lilet is a true innocent.
01:11I'm confident that I can absolve her.
01:16We'll see.
01:19Good luck.
01:21This court has taken note of all the arguments raised by both parties regarding the petition
01:36for bail of the accused.
01:39Counsels, any further oral arguments for today's hearing?
01:46Your Honor, I would like to reiterate that we strongly oppose this petition for bail.
01:52As argued earlier, the pieces of evidence that we gathered present a strong case for
01:57guilt against Attorney Lilet Matias.
01:59Therefore, she should not be eligible for bail.
02:02Your Honor, clearly, the pieces of evidence presented by the prosecution does not equate
02:07to a strong evidence of guilt.
02:10As previously presented, there are several loopholes in the eyewitness testimony of Evelyn
02:17Magas.
02:18Therefore, it is not enough basis to deny the petition for bail of Attorney Matias.
02:24Your Honor, this case is about a brutal act committed in cold blood.
02:31If bail is granted, then the accused poses a significant threat of fleeing, particularly
02:36given that the gravity of her charges are quite severe, Your Honor.
02:41Furthermore, it could also endanger public safety, not to mention that it could set the
02:46dangerous precedent that violent crimes can be excused with monetary conditions.
02:52Your Honor, I implore you to please deny this petition for bail.
02:59Granting bail to Attorney Lilet Matias would be tantamount to setting a criminal free,
03:03Your Honor.
03:05And frankly, that's just something I vehemently believe that this court should never allow.
03:10Your Honor, what Attorney Allen said is preposterous.
03:37When he mentioned public safety, it's as if he has totally forgotten the physical structure
03:43of the accused.
03:45And the grant of bail being tantamount to setting a criminal free is a slip I may possibly
03:50expect from a new bar passer.
03:53A seasoned criminal lawyer should not loosely call an accused a criminal.
04:00The prosecution is clearly playing on fears and emotions, and supposing strong guilt of
04:05the accused is only anchored on the sole eyewitness testimony, in which highly questionable,
04:15and most importantly, Attorney Lilet Matias deserves the chance to defend herself or should
04:22not be called or even referred to in passing as a criminal.
04:26Your Honor, let it be stated on the record, and for Attorney Ignacio's benefit, that nowhere
04:32in my previous statement did I ever call the accused a criminal, unless the word tantamount
04:37doesn't mean anything anymore.
04:39Your Honor, that's all.
04:43Attorney Matias?
04:45Your Honor, I understand the repercussions of non-appearance, resulting to a trial in
04:53absentia.
04:55Most importantly, I don't have a reason to flee nor hide, for I am confident that I can
05:00prove myself innocent before this court.
05:03I am more than determined to see this case through, so that I can start going after my
05:07mother's real killer.
05:12Your Honor?
05:13Yes, Attorney Allen?
05:14Although the accused claims that she has no intentions of fleeing, unfortunately, intentions
05:19alone is just not sufficient to ensure that she will not jump bail.
05:25In fact, it is the prosecution's duty to ensure that this community is protected, Your Honor,
05:30and in good conscience, we cannot allow to release someone who has already shown a potential
05:35for violence.
05:36Your Honor, I urge you to please consider the implications of granting bail and deny
05:42this claim, if only, if only that the court would send the message that the privilege
05:50of bail should only be reserved to those who truly deserve it.
06:00What do you think, Ma'am?
06:16Is that part of your tactics to intimidate us, to make us focus?
06:23Having heard the oral arguments presented by both parties regarding the bail petition
06:34for the accused, Attorney Lillet Matias, I find it prudent to allow both parties to
06:42have more time to enable them to be able to present more witnesses to bolster their
06:54position.
06:57Clerk of Court, please schedule another hearing within two weeks' time.
07:05As you know, this is a system procedure, so the court will decide within 30 days from
07:15when we first convened.
07:19Until then, Attorney Lillet Matias remains in custody.
07:27This court is adjourned.
07:57Attorney Lillet Matias, you have always claimed to be innocent, what evidence do you think
08:14can support your statements?
08:15I'm sorry, but I can't tell you our defense.
08:16Maybe because she has no evidence to prove that she's innocent, that's why she's not
08:27in custody.
