Mr. M. Notnilc: All these allegations are simply intended by my opponents to disqualify me ...
Mr. Sentence: You have been summoned here to take a stance on your alleged harassment with Ms Acinom L. During the last elections, when you ran for the Presidency, the image you projected was that of an honorable, ethical and family man.
Mr. M. Notnilc: Which I still am, as …
Mr. Sentence: Yet the country is aware that you seem to have disregarded everything, your family, your responsibilities both as a father and a husband, along with your duties of Office. Indeed you have betrayed your obligations with respect to the public. We also know that you have taken advantage of your authority to impose yourself on this woman.
Mr. M. Notnilc: I did no such thing. After all…
Mr. Sentence: To the electorate, and to those who put their trust in your hands, to those who looked up to you, what do you have to say?
Mr. M. Notnilc: If you so much as allow me to explain myself…
Mr. Sentence: Do you deny the fact that you have had an ongoing affair with this woman? Do you deny the fact that you have been seen on countless occasions in her private quarters? Or that you have indulged not only in this affair but in others in the past?
Mr. M. Notnilc: These are all unsubstantiated rumors which only serve to….
Mr. Sentence: You must admit that all evidence is currently against you as everything points to the fact that not only have you disregarded the potential risk but also the ethical questions involved, which only serves to illustrate the gap between what an authentic President ought to do and what you, on the other hand, appear to be keen on denying.
Mr. M. Notnilc: Should you insist on not allowing me time to defend myself…
Mr. Sentence: It would be pointless to maintain this adamant denial since it implies contempt for the public. The very fact that you are misleading us and are trying to manipulate us by distorting facts only serves to indicate the extent of your betrayal not only of your family but of the entire nation.
Mr. M. Notnilc: As I tried to clarify earlier, my respect for my nation, my voters and my family has never swerved. On the contrary…
Mr. Sentence: In a clearly fair and unbiased intent to give you a chance to defend yourself, how do you plead regarding the growing accusations against you? How do you plead before the entire nation that is watching and judging?
Mr. M. Notnilc: In all clear conscience, …
Mr. Sentence: I must warn you that a series of highly incriminating tapes has come into our hands and that we will shortly be viewing.
Mr. M. Notnilc: I would wholeheartedly welcome any…
Mr. Sentence: The very least you could do would be to apologize to the country for your misconduct …
Mr. M. Notnilc: … (silence)
Mr. Sentence: …but from what I can see you are determined to hold on to deny your obvious misconduct. We have unfortunately run out of time for today.
