Guo's lawyer cites lack of evidence, due process in defense

Alice Guo's lawyer Stephen David defended his client's decision not to testify before the Senate by citing lack of evidence from lawmakers.

David emphasized that forcing someone to self-incriminate is unjust and questioned why public testimony was necessary if there wasn't sufficient proof.

He also pointed out that documents presented about Guo's financial transactions were insufficient and only used for generalizations.

The lawyer highlighted the importance of due process, comparing Senate hearings to medieval practices where torture was common when people didn't believe suspects.

David further stated that Guo signed a counter-affidavit before leaving the country which addressed concerns regarding its submission after her departure.
