24. THE TRIAL OF RIZAL

Rizal.
Cuartel de Espana- military building.
Seven Members of the Military Court:
Lt. Col. Jose Togores Arjona (president)
Capt. Ricardo Munoz Arias
Capt. Manuel Reguera
Capt. Santiago Izquierdo Osorio
Capt. Braulio Rodriguez Nunez
Capt. Manuel Diaz Escribano
Capt. Fernando Perez Rodriguez

26. Also present in the courtroom were:
Dr. Jose Rizal (the accused)
Lt. Taviel de Andrade (his defense council)
Capt. Rafael Dominguez (Judge Advocate)
Lt. Enrique de Alcocer (prosecuting
Attorney)
The Spectators
-Josephine Bracken
-a sister of Rizal
-some newspapermen
- many Spaniards
Prosecuting Attorney Alcocer arose and
delivered a long and bitter speech
summarizing the charges against Rizal and
urged the court to give the verdict of death
to the accused. The Spanish spectators
applauded noisily Alcocer’s petition for the
sentence of death.

27. Rizal was accused of
three crimes:
Rebellion
Sedition
Illegal Association
Penalty
Rebellion and Sedition-
was from life
imprisonment to death.
Illegal Association- was
correctional imprisonment
and a fine of 325 to 3,250
pesetas.

28. In his supplementary defense he
further proved his innocence by twelve
points:
1.He could not be guilty of rebellion, for
he advised Dr. Pio Valenzuela in Dapitan
not to rise in revolution.
2.He did not correspond with the radical,
revolutionary elements.
3.The revolutionists used his name
without his knowledge. If he were guilty
he could have escaped in Singapore.

29. 4.If he had a hand in the revolution , he could have escaped in a Moro
vinta and would not have built a home, a hospital, and bought lands in
Dapitan.
5.If he were the chief of the revolution, why was he not consulted by
the revolutionists?
7.It was true he wrote the by-laws of the Liga-Filipina, but this is only
a civic association – not a revolutionary society.
8.The Liga Filipina did not live long, for after the first meeting he was
banished to Dapitan and it died out.
If the Liga was reorganized nine months later, he did not knoe about
it.
9.The Liga did not serve the purpose of the revolutionists, other wise
they would not have supplanted it with the Katipunan.
10.If it were true that there were some bitter comments in Rizal’s
letters, it was because they were written in 1890 when his family was
being persecuted, being dispossesssed of houses, warehouses, lands,
etc… and his brother and brother-in-law were deported.

30. 11.His life in Dapitan had been exemplary as the
politico-military commanders and missionary priests
could attest.
12.It was not true that the revolution was inspired
by his one speech at the house of Doroteo
Ongjunco, as alleged by witnesses whom he would
like to confront. His friends knew his opposition to
armed rebellion. Why did the Katipunan send an
emissary to Dapitan who was unknown to him?
Because those who knew him were aware that he
would never sanction any violent movement.
Lt. Col. Togores Arjona – considered the trial
over and ordered the hall cleared.
