‘Make Arroyo a state witness’
Miriam says she must be motivated to tell the truth
By JUDE C. GALFORD IV
Arroyo as state witness?
This makes sense according to Sen. Miriam Santiago yesterday if only to ensure that Gloria Macapagal Arroyo will tell the "whole truth" before she testifies.
Santiago explained that without this assurance, Arroyo can tell half-truths so as not to incriminate herself.
"The best way to solve this mess is to offer her the status of a state witness with immunity from prosecution from what he will say," Santiago suggested.
Santiago averred that without such assurance, Arroyo will naturally protect himself.
I think this is a good idea, so that she can speak freely na.
UPDATE: Oh i'm sorry... Here's the link to the real article.
Should we give Garci immunity like what Miriam wants? Of course, not. He and Arroyo were the ones mainly responsible for this GLORIAGATE mess.
Don't give him immunity. But lessen his sentence from death penalty to life imprisonment if he gives truthful testimony detailing how he and GMA stole the elections.
That would be a good start.
