"THIS BOOK IS ABOUT THE IMELDA MARCOS TRIAL IN NEW YORK.. A FIRST OF ITS KIND IN AMERICAN JURIS PRUDENCE, IT COVERS NOT ONLY THE TRIAL BUT IT ALSO REVEALS EVIDENCE OF MORE THAN 300,000 DOCUMENTS THAT SHOULD HAVE MADE HER GUILTY. " " I TRY TO ANSWER THROUGH THE BACKGROUND OF THREE CHAPTERS HOW AND WHY SHE WAS ACQUITTED DESPITE THE VOLUMINOUS EVIDENCE." " IT VERY NEARLY DID NOT SEE PRINT BUT THE AUTHOR WAS DETERMINED THAT FILIPINOS KNOW WHAT THE TRIAL WAS ABOUT AND WHY IMELDA DID NOT WANT HER TRUE STORY TOLD. THE AUTHOR IS NOW A WIDOW AND LIVES IN MANILA AFTER A 20 YEAR EXILE." "SHE MAY HAVE WON THE BATTLE BUT WE WON THE WAR". EXCERPTS FROM THE OPENING STATEMENT OF THE PROSECUTION. "THE GOVERNMENT WILL PROVE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT THAT THE DEFENDANT IMEDLA MARCOS AND HER HUSBAND, FERDINAN MARCOS, PLUNDERED THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIIPPINES THEIR NATIVE COUNTRY, AND THEN EXPORTED THE FRUITS OF THEIR FRAUD HERE. IN FACT THEY EXPORTED THE FRAUD ITSELF INTO THE UNITED STATES AND INTO NEW YORK AND INTO THIS VERY COURTHOUSE." "YOU ARE GOING TO LEARN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THAT EVERY TIME THAT IMELDA MARCOS DESCENDED ON NEW YORK DURING THOSE YEARS--AND SHE CAME HERE QUITE FREQUENTLY -- SHE CRACKED OPEN THAT PIGGY BANK. SHE DIRECTED THAT BUNDLES AND BUNDLES OF CASH BE TAKEN OUT OF THE PHILIPPINE NATIONAL BANK AND DELIVERED TO HER SUITE AT THE WALDORF. SHE STOLE MONEY DIRECTLY OUT OF THAT NEW YORK BRANCH OFFICE IN NEW YORK AND PUT IT INTO HER MANHATTAN REAL ESTATE AND INTO HER MULT-MILLION DOLLAR PURCHASES OF ARTWORK AND JEWELRY HERE IN THE CITY."
