The Joseph Morong Report: What happens if #JanetLimNapoles becomes state witness
GMA7 News TV Channel 11/ 24 State of the Nation show, the Joseph Morong report: What happens if pork barrel queen Janet Lim-Napoles becomes state witness?
What benefits could be granted to a witness admitted to the Witness Protection Program?
This report gives an overview of the legal and practical implications of JLN being admitted to the WPP — and builds scenarios based on logical consequences of the State being obliged to give protection to a jailed accused-turned-state-witness-in-another- case: “SONA: Kalayaan at immunity, kapalit ng pagiging state witness ni Napoles” ni Joseph Morong (“State of the Nation Report: Freedom and immunity in exchange for Napoles being state witness” by Joseph Morong), GMA News TV State of the Nation show, uploaded here non-commercially for educational purposes (click video below):

sweetie, brush up on practice: Here it is… (free download):
After preliminaries….
Browbeating…
“I don’t know, your Honor…. Uuhmmm…hindi ko ho… masyadong matandaan iyan… (I don’t remember, your Honor)
I don’t seem to…recall, your Honor…
“hindi ko ho alam …” (i don’t know that…)
“wala ho akong matandaan na ganyan…” (i don’t remember anything like that whatsoever whomsoever, eyver and eyver)
Hindi ko ho alam yan… Hindi ko ho alam ang ginawa nila… (i don’t know that… I don’t know what they did…)
hindi ho…. Wala ho….” “I don’t know… I don’t remember… I don’t know to you, este, I don’t know … no sir.. none…. I didn’t know what they were doing…”)
….A teardrop will fall.
A glistening, slow-moving droplet will slide on her erstwhile diamond-peeled skin….
followed by sniffles…
sighs….
suppressed coughing….and…
uncontrollable sobbing….
sobbing… hu-hu-hu….turning to wailing…
And then…there will be difficulty in breathing….
a sharp increase in blood pressure…
rising to 280 over 300…. chest pains,
heaving, fainting spells…
And…..cue music.
Right against self-incrimination? Wal-ley!
Medic!!!! I need a medic here…. Somebody help… Medic!!!!
And off she rides into the sunset….
(there’s a technique for handling the usual i-don’t-recall-i-don’t-remember sort of answer… how to turn it around… but i guess you know how to do that because… your middle name is dazzling-showman-senator…)
