Key witness stopped from giving Senate ‘confidential’ testimony on hazing death

THE Department of Justice (DoJ) tried to stop a key witness from testifying on the hazing death of a freshman law student of the University of Santo Tomas (UST) at the resumption of the Senate investigation on Monday.

Prosecutor General Jorge Catalan Jr. told the panel that Mark Ventura of the Aegis Juris “cannot testify this time because his testimony is confidential in nature.”
