Cory and a bit of history by Tony Abaya

Two Women: Cory

By Antonio C. Abaya

Written on July 08, 2009

For the Standard Today,

July 09 issue

One is apparently at the end of her biological life and has philosophically accepted it. She has in fact expressed the wish to be reunited soon with her martyred husband.

The other is almost certainly near the end of her political life, but she stubbornly refuses to accept it. She is in fact scheming to prolong it, by fair means or foul, because she believes that there is no life after Malacanang. Or, if there is, it could be in foreign exile or, worse, in statutory domestic exile in Muntinlupa.

*****

I first came face to face with Corazon Cojuangco-Aquino in late June 1985. My father had died on June 26. A few days later, Cory – a dear friend of my sister Gigi – came to the wake at the Immaculate Conception Church on Lantana Street in Cubao, to pay her respects.

Taking advantage of the encounter, I walked over to her pew, teasingly knelt in front of her and jestingly asked her “to please run for president.” At that time, the draft-Cory movement was still in its infancy. Her response, just as jesting, was a smiling rebuke: “You’re not my friend!”

But, of course, she did accept the draft in late 1985 and she did run for president in the snap elections of February 1986. And the rest, as they say, is history.

However, the results were not so clear cut. Despite the dramatic walk-out of its own computer programmers over alleged orders to fudge the numbers, the Comelec declared Ferdinand Marcos and Arturo Tolentino the official winners of the snap elections.

The slower, though more credible, tally of the citizens’ watchdog organization, the Namfrel, showed Cory winning by a slim majority over Marcos. But as the days dragged on, that slim margin became slimmer and slimmer.

With only 72 percent of the precincts accounted for, Namfrel abruptly terminated its tally, even as more results trickled in from the rural areas, traditionally the reliable bulwark of any administration.

Theoretically at least, with 28 percent of the (mainly) rural precincts still unheard from, even in the Namfrel count, it was possible that Marcos could have caught up with Cory and the tally could have ended in a statistical near-draw.

But all this became academic when Cory called her followers – mainly from the urban middle classes – to a mammoth rally in the Luneta, drawing an estimated two million supporters, and, supposedly on the recommendation of an American political adviser, unilaterally declared herself the winner.

Her self-declared victory found resonance among the urban middle classes, who were fed up with the conjugal dictatorship of Ferdinand and Imelda, no matter what the actual vote counts may have been.

The subsequent military mutiny led by Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile and Constabulary Gen. Fidel V. Ramos, drew sustenance from the prevalent anti-Marcos sentiment, and was actually saved from being crushed by Marcos loyalists, by the timely intervention of People Power multitudes rallied by Jaime Cardinal Sin .

The urban middle classes, some of whom shake in their designer boots whenever the R word is mentioned, should be reminded that Cory Aquino was elevated to the presidency, not by the results of the snap elections, but by a revolutionary turn of events.

That nothing revolutionary transpired during the Cory years was not the fault of Cory Aquino, It was more the fault of her political advisers, famously numbering 50, who should have known better but gave her poor advice. Such as mixing pro-Communists and anti-Communists in her Cabinet.

The pro-Communists were able to convince her to release Communist supremo Joma Sison from detention, which angered the anti-Communist military and led to several military putsches against her.

The ingrate Joma Sison, instead of being thankful to her for his freedom, went on self-exile to the Netherlands and waged a campaign to bad-mouth Cory Aquino before Europe’s generally leftist media, thus destroying her chances of winning the Nobel Peace Prize, for which she had been nominated in 1988.

The moral of the story is: the next time we have a revolution, it should be ideologically homogenous and not try to please all stripes of political opinion because, if it does, it would just wind up displeasing everyone. This is so commonsensical, it is a wonder no one thought of it in 1986-88.

The historical role of Cory Aquino was to dismantle the Marcos dictatorship. In this she was eminently successful, and the nation owes her a debt of gratitude for it. To her credit, Cory never thought that she deserved another term and never lifted a finger to seek it. No wonder she radiates an inner peace and the joy of contentment. ***** (To be concluded)

Slapping women is OK - Judge

Saudi judge: It's OK to slap spendthrift wives

By Mohammed Jamjoom
CNN

(CNN) -- Husbands are allowed to slap their wives if they spend lavishly, a Saudi judge said recently during a seminar on domestic violence, Saudi media reported Sunday.


It is OK to slap Saudi women who spend too much, a judge has told an audience.

Arab News, a Saudi English-language daily newspaper based in Riyadh, reported that Judge Hamad Al-Razine said that "if a person gives SR 1,200 [$320] to his wife and she spends 900 riyals [$240] to purchase an abaya [the black cover that women in Saudi Arabia must wear] from a brand shop and if her husband slaps her on the face as a reaction to her action, she deserves that punishment."

Women in the audience immediately and loudly protested Al-Razine's statement, and were shocked to learn the remarks came from a judge, the newspaper reported.

Arab News reported that Al-Razine made his remark as he was attempting to explain why incidents of domestic violence had increased in Saudi Arabia. He said that women and men shared responsibility, but added that "nobody puts even a fraction of blame" on women, the newspaper said.

Al-Razine "also pointed out that women's indecent behavior and use of offensive words against their husbands were some of the reasons for domestic violence in the country," it added.

Domestic violence, which used to be a taboo subject in the conservative kingdom, has become a hot topic in recent years. Groups like the National Family Safety Program have campaigned to educate the public about the problem and help prevent domestic abuse.

Saudi women's rights activist Wajeha Al-Huwaider told CNN that Saudi women routinely face such attitudes.

"This is how men in Saudi Arabia see women," she said in a telephone interview from the Saudi city of Dahran. "It's not something they read in a book or learned from a friend. They've been raised to see women this way, that they're less than a person."

Al-Huwaider added that "I'm not surprised to see a judge or a religious man saying that - they've been raised in the same culture - a culture that tells them it's ok to raise your hand to a woman that this works."

Another Saudi judge, in the city of Onaiza, was the source of a separate recent controversy: he twice denied a request from the mother of an 8-year-old girl that the girl be granted a divorce from her 47-year-old husband.

Last month, after human-groups condemned the union, the girl was granted the divorce.

Trials, Mistrials and the Web.

As Jurors Turn to Web, Mistrials Are Popping Up

By JOHN SCHWARTZ

NEW YORK TIMES Published: March 17, 2009

Last week, a juror in a big federal drug trial in Florida admitted to the judge that he had been doing research on the case on the Internet, directly violating the judge’s instructions and centuries of legal rules. But when the judge questioned the rest of the jury, he got an even bigger shock.

Eight other jurors had been doing the same thing. The federal judge, William J. Zloch, had no choice but to declare a mistrial, a waste of eight weeks of work by federal prosecutors and defense lawyers.

“We were stunned,” said a defense lawyer, Peter Raben, who was told by the jury that he had been on the verge of winning the case. “It’s the first time modern technology struck us in that fashion, and it hit us right over the head.”

It might be called a Google mistrial. The use of BlackBerrys and iPhones by jurors gathering and sending out information about cases is wreaking havoc on trials around the country, upending deliberations and infuriating judges.

Last week, a building products company asked an Arkansas court to overturn a $12.6 million judgment, claiming that a juror used Twitter to send updates during the civil trial.

And on Monday, defense lawyers in the federal corruption trial of a former Pennsylvania state senator, Vincent J. Fumo, demanded before the verdict that the judge declare a mistrial because a juror posted updates on the case on Twitter and Facebook. The juror had even told his readers that a “big announcement” was coming on Monday. But the judge decided to let the deliberations continue, and the jury found Mr. Fumo guilty. His lawyers plan to use the Internet postings as grounds for appeal.

Jurors are not supposed to seek information outside of the courtroom. They are required to reach a verdict based on only the facts the judge has decided are admissible, and they are not supposed to see evidence that has been excluded as prejudicial. But now, using their cellphones, they can look up the name of a defendant on the Web or examine an intersection using Google Maps, violating the legal system’s complex rules of evidence. They can also tell their friends what is happening in the jury room, though they are supposed to keep their opinions and deliberations secret.

A juror on a lunch or bathroom break can find out many details about a case. Wikipedia can help explain the technology underlying a patent claim or medical condition, Google Maps can show how long it might take to drive from Point A to Point B, and news sites can write about a criminal defendant, his lawyers or expert witnesses.

“It’s really impossible to control it,” said Douglas L. Keene, president of the American Society of Trial Consultants.

Judges have long amended their habitual warning about seeking outside information during trials to include Internet searches. But with the Internet now as close as a juror’s pocket, the risk has grown more immediate — and instinctual. Attorneys have begun to check the blogs and Web sites of prospective jurors.

Mr. Keene said jurors might think they were helping, not hurting, by digging deeper. “There are people who feel they can’t serve justice if they don’t find the answers to certain questions,” he said.

But the rules of evidence, developed over hundreds of years of jurisprudence, are there to ensure that the facts that go before a jury have been subjected to scrutiny and challenge from both sides, said Olin Guy Wellborn III, a law professor at the University of Texas.

“That’s the beauty of the adversary system,” said Professor Wellborn, co-author of a handbook on evidence law. “You lose all that when the jurors go out on their own.”

There appears to be no official tally of cases disrupted by Internet research, but with the increasing adoption of Web technology in cellphones, the numbers are sure to grow. Some courts are beginning to restrict the use of cellphones by jurors within the courthouse, even confiscating them during the day, but a majority do not, Mr. Keene said. And computer use at home, of course, is not restricted unless a jury is sequestered.

In the Florida case that resulted in a mistrial, Mr. Raben spent nearly eight weeks fighting charges that his client had illegally sold prescription drugs through Internet pharmacies. The arguments were completed and the jury was deliberating when one juror contacted the judge to say another had admitted to her that he had done outside research on the case over the Internet.

The judge questioned the juror about his research, which included evidence that the judge had specifically excluded. Mr. Raben recalls thinking that if the juror had not broadly communicated his information with the rest of the jury, the trial could continue and the eight weeks would not be wasted. “We can just kick this juror off and go,” he said.

But then the judge found that eight other jurors had done the same thing — conducting Google searches on the lawyers and the defendant, looking up news articles about the case, checking definitions on Wikipedia and searching for evidence that had been specifically excluded by the judge. One juror, asked by the judge about the research, said, “Well, I was curious,” according to Mr. Raben. “It was a heartbreak,” Mr. Raben added.

Information flowing out of the jury box can be nearly as much trouble as the information flowing in; jurors accustomed to posting regular updates on their day-to-day experiences and thoughts can find themselves on a collision course with the law.

In the Arkansas case, Stoam Holdings, the company trying to overturn the $12.6 million judgment, said a juror, Johnathan Powell, had sent Twitter messages during the trial. Mr. Powell’s messages included “oh and nobody buy Stoam. Its bad mojo and they’ll probably cease to Exist, now that their wallet is 12m lighter” and “So Johnathan, what did you do today? Oh nothing really, I just gave away TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS of somebody else’s money.”

Mr. Powell, 29, the manager of a one-hour photo booth at a Wal-Mart in Fayetteville, Ark., insisted in an interview that he had not sent any substantive messages about the case until the verdict had been delivered and he was released from his obligation not to discuss the case. “I was done when I mentioned the trial at all,” he said. “They’re welcome to pull my phone records.”

But juror research is a more troublesome issue than sending Twitter messages or blogging, Mr. Keene said, and it raises new issues for judges in giving instructions.

“It’s important that they don’t know what’s excluded, and it’s important that they don’t know why it’s excluded,” Mr. Keene said. The court cannot even give a full explanation to jurors about research — say, to tell them what not to look for — so instructions are usually delivered as blanket admonitions, he said.

The technological landscape has changed so much that today’s judge, Mr. Keene said, “has to explain why this is crucial, and not just go through boilerplate instructions.” And, he said, enforcement goes beyond what the judge can do, pointing out that “it’s up to Juror 11 to make sure Juror 12 stays in line.”

It does not always work out that way. Seth A. McDowell, a data support specialist who lives in Albuquerque and works for a financial advising firm, said he was serving on a jury last year when another juror admitted running a Google search on the defendant, even though she acknowledged that she was not supposed to do so. She said she did not find anything, Mr. McDowell said.

Mr. McDowell, 35, said he thought about telling the judge, but decided against it. None of the other jurors did, either. Now, he said, after a bit of soul-searching, he feels he may have made the wrong choice. But he remains somewhat torn.

“I don’t know,” he said. “If everybody did the right thing, the trial, which took two days, would have gone on for another bazillion years.”

Mr. McDowell said he planned to attend law school in the fall.
