Guilty or not? Decide on Pres Joseph Estrada Plunder case and why?

Question

Come September 12, 2007, the Sandiganbayan will finally give the verdict on ousted Pres. Estrada. I just want to ask what does the people feel about the case. I hope I will be enlighten.

Answer 1

Apathy. On my personal knowledge, I don't see (or should I say, I am not convinced that Erap committed plunder). He had blunders and lapses such as signing for Velarde but I dont see the merits of accusing him of plundering. The first thing that I am eager to know is the evidence that a particular sum of government money coming from my tax is stolen.
I blame those thousands of misguided people who went to the EDSA II and to those people who discontinued the impeachment process. I also want to shred and to concoct that empty envelope that stirred the prosecutors who walked out.

Answer 2

No one is above the law , president , lawmakers, or a simple Juan . We should respect the decision of higher court. For me Pres. Estrada is Guilty! All the evidence presented were all true .

Answer 3

In my opinion, Joseph Estrada will be convicted. If he will be acquitted, Pres. Gloria's presidency will look bogus. It will look that we removed from office a legitimate president in Edsa 2. The problem about a conviction is the possible unrest that will ensue.

Answer 4

He should be adjudged guilty or all these drama culminating from Edsa Dos would be in vain. But of course, he should be pardoned to avoid political unrest. Ironic huh.

Answer 5

Guilty since there were evidence that he received bribe money from jueteng operations and stock insider trading.

Answer 6

Guilty. Its impossible for him to be not guilty of all the charges against him.
