Because of what Rizza said, my wife got mad and left me.
What did you feel when your wife left you?
Objection your honor, immaterial.
Sustained.
What did you feel towards Rizza when your wife left you?
Objection your honor, immaterial.
Overruled. Mr. Witness, answer the question.
Of course, I got mad. I was furious because she told my wife those
rumors.
Is that why you confronted Rizza?
Objection your honor. Leading question.
Sustained. Counsel, rephrase your question.
Why did you confront Rizza?
I wanted to talk to her, ask her about the rumors she is spreading about
me.
You said earlier that you only wanted to talk to her, but then why did it
end up in a violent tussle?
It was Rizza who got violent. She slapped me across the face that is
why I got mad. I only defended myself.
So, you are saying that you punched her in the face because you were
defending yourself from Rizza?
Yes, maam.
Mr. Sirios, what is you occupation.
I am an amateur boxing coach.
How many hours a day do you spend for training and sparring
practices?
Objection your honor. Immaterial.
What is the purpose of your question, counsel?
You honor, I am trying to establish that the accused is fully capable of
inflicting such severe injuries to the victim.
Sustained. Witness, answer the question.
I usually train my athletes for 12 hours a day.
Your honor, as what the accused admitted, he punched the victim as
self defense. However, as what has been established earlier, the victim
only slapped the accused but he inflicted a strong punch to her face.
His retaliation is obviously disproportionate to the attack of the victim
and cannot be considered a mere self-defense.
Furthermore, as we can obviously see, the accused is a man and the
victim is a woman. As what was established by Dr. Nieva, cerebral
contusions are common among boxers and close combat fighters. He is
evidently taller and given his profession he is definitely much stronger.
Regardless of his drunken state at the time of the incident, the fact still
remains that he is capable of overpowering the victim.
