Dear Haytham, with all due respect, I included in my article those statements you mention about how he urinated on the skull and kicked the body. So obviously I was paying attention.
I also included lots of qualifiers about Dela Cruz's lack of credibility, including his own admission that he has lied before about this case.
My job was to report the testimony of the day with as much context as possible. That is what I've been doing every day for the last three days.
I am sorry for you that Wednesday wasn't a good day of testimony for your client, but I do not appreciate you insulting me and my credibility and accusing me of sensationalism. There is no call for that.
During a lengthy trial like this, some days you'll win and some days you'll lose. I shouldn't have to tell you that.
The members will decide if Dela Cruz can be believed.
Sincerely,
Gretel,
I am shocked by your story. After four hours of examination that disclosed that Sgt Dela Cruz is a verified liar, who has lied under oath and failed a polygraph, the best you could do is cite one of his lies that he used to gain dismissal of the murder
charges that he clearly committed based on his own testimony? You felt his credibility was impaired? Really? That's it? He has NEVER spoken the truth. Furthermore, he urinated in the skull of the man he killed and claimed Wuterich killed that man. He kicked
another man in the head and said "I killed that mother fucker." He killed those 5 men and claimed that Wuterich did it. Had you been paying attention, you would have heard him say that. Instead you waited for something that sounded sensational without any
regard for its truth. Congratulations. You'll get to sell a few more papers tomorrow but you failed in your moral responsibility to your readers to report the truth and betrayed your
