Two trials and confused witnesses

Yesterday, the court martial trial of Lt. Artemio Raymundo was off to an amusing start with the witnesses testifying never having viewed the controversial video that has caused the incarceration of an outstanding officer for more than two years.

Raymundo is facing three charges of violations of Articles of War 96 (conduct unbecoming of an officer and gentleman), 97 (conduct prejudicial to public order and military discipline) and 64 (disrespect towards superior officer) for sharing with fellow soldiers copies of video he got for free at an LRT station.

Those video pieces happen to be former Joseph Estrada’s biopic “Ang mabuhay para sa masa” and documentaries on the 2004 election cheating “At All Cost” and “The Original Sin.”
