00:00This case is not as simple as the prosecution would like to make it seem.

00:13I asked this court to look beyond the surface.

00:17Your Honor, today we will show without a shadow of a doubt

00:20that Atty. Lileth Matias committed the gravest act imaginable.

00:24The murder of her own mother, Atty. Meredith Simmons, in cold blood.

00:29My mother, Atty. Meredith Simmons, is a person I admire and respect.

00:36This was not an act of desperation, but one born out of anger, resentment, and opportunity.

00:43We will present evidence and testimony proving that Atty. Matias

00:46had both the motive and the means to commit this heinous crime.

00:51I will show this court the truth.

00:58One that has been twisted by circumstance and speculation.

01:02The truth that I will not kill my own mother.

01:15Your witness, prosecution.

01:18Mr. Paredel, let's indulge the court with a trip down memory lane, shall we?

01:25That night at the birthday party of Atty. Meredith Simmons, you worked as a waiter, correct?

01:32Yes, I was a waiter that night at the event.

01:35Well, according to the toxicology report of the victim,

01:40the absence of ethanol confirms that the dizziness and other effects

01:45were directly attributable to a drug called Rohypnol and not alcohol,

01:49that could have been added to the victim's drink that night.

01:54Now, my question is, do you know how the drinks you serve are prepared?

02:02No, Atty. I am a waiter.

02:05And the waiters are not included in the team that arranges the food and drinks.

02:11Thank you, Mr. Paredel.

02:12Well, as a waiter, your job is to go around the venue to serve, right?

02:17Yes, sir.

02:18While you were going around, did you see Atty. Meredith Simmons holding a drink that night?

02:24She was toasting.

02:27I think the wine was in her glass that night.

02:31Mr. Paredel, did you see her drinking that night?

02:35I don't remember.

02:37I also don't remember if it was really wine.

02:41Well, if you don't remember, Mr. Paredel,

02:44do you remember any other incident that night involving Atty. Meredith Simmons?

02:51Aside from her toasting speech,

02:54I saw Atty. Simmons and Atty. Matyas talking as if they were having a conversation.

03:08I pity you, son.

03:11Tell me, what else can I do for you to accept me?

03:16I know it's your birthday.

03:19But you deserve to know the truth.

03:21And the truth is, you shouldn't expect anything anymore.

03:25Because no matter how hard I try,

03:27I pity you so that you can accept that I'm still angry with you.

03:37Can you show me the video that you took that night?

03:43The one where, how shall I say this,

03:46Atty. Matyas wasn't exactly thrilled by her mother's affection.

03:59Maybe we can see it.

04:02Yes, the last thing that happened was when Atty. Matyas ran away

04:07after being hugged by Atty. Simmons.

04:09It's as if Atty. Simmons is pitying her.

04:12Objection, Your Honor.

04:13The witness is merely speculating on what happened.

04:16Which part of the testimony, Atty. Matyas?

04:20The witness is speculating as to what Atty. Meredith Simmons said

04:24and deliberating on what happened.

04:27The witness is speculating as to what Atty. Meredith Simmons said

04:31and deliberately assuming what he supposedly observed to make me look guilty.

04:37His interpretation is misleading and unfair.

04:40Overruled.

04:42The witness was merely describing what he saw.

04:47The defense will have the chance to address the issue during cross-examination.

04:55Proceed, Attorney Allen.

05:25The defense will have the chance to address the issue during cross-examination.
