Rizal’s Trial, and Death November 20, 1896

-He was blamed for being the leader of the revolution -By increasing the people’s ideas about rebellion and making illegal organizations. Colonel Francisco Olive the assigned Judge to summon Rizal

• Lawyer of Rizal • He was the bodyguard of Rizal when he first came home. • There were two kinds of evidences presented to him during the investigation: • Documentary and Testimonial. • There were fifteen documents against Rizal and Lt. Luis Taviel de Andrade

• Ten witnesses for testimonial.

Rizal cited twelve poin points ts to prove his in innocence: nocence: 1. Rizal was against rebellion as testified by Pio Valenzuela. 2. No letter consisting of revolutionary elements was addressed to the Katipunan was written. 3. Without his consent, the Katipunan used his name as one of the passwords. 4. If he was guilty, he could have left the country while in exile; he would not have built a home, and would not have bought a parcel of and to put up a hospital in Dapitan.

5. The revolutionists could have consulted him if he was the leader. 6. He did not deny that he wrote the by-laws of the Liga Filipina, but to make things clear, it is a different organization from Katipunan. The former being a civic association and the latter being a revolutionary society. 7. After the first meeting of the Liga, the association banished because of his exile in Dapitan and it did not last long. 8. He had no idea, that the Liga was reorganized nine months after.

9. If the Liga had a revolutionary purpose, then Katipunan should not have been founded. 10. If the Spanish authorities found his letters offending, it was because in 1890, his family has been persecuted. 11. He lived a good life in Dapitan – the politico military commander and missionary priest in the province could attest to it. 12. The witnesses said that if the speech delivered at Doroteo Ongjunco’s house had inspired the revolution, he should be given a chance to confront these persons. If he was in the revolution, the Katipunan should not have sent an unfamiliar emissary to him in Dapitan. For this, his friends knew that he never promoted violence.

He once again wrote a letter to his family family,, sisters and brother To my family, I ask you for forgiveness for the pain I cause you, but some day I shall have to die and it is better that I die now in the plentitude of my conscience. Dear parents and brothers: give thanks to God that I may preserve my tranquility before my death. I die resigned, hoping that with my death you will be left in peace. Ah! It is better to die than to live suffering. Console yourselves. I enjoin you to forgive one another the little meanness of life and try to live united in peace and good harmony. Treat your old parents as you would like to be treated by your children later. Love them very much in my memory. Bury me in the ground. Place a stone and a cross over it. My name, the date of my birth and of my death. Nothing more. If later you wish to surround my grave with a fence, you can do it. No anniversaries. I prefer Paang Bundok. Have pity on poor Josephine. My Dear Brother, It is now four and a half years since we have seen one another, or have we exchanged letters. This I think is not because of any lack of love on my part or yours, but because, knowing one another so well, we do not need to talk in order to be understood by one another. Now I am about to die, and it is to you I dedicate my last line, to tell you how sorry I am to leave you alone in this life, burdened with the weight of the family and of our old parents. I am thinking how hard you have work to give me a career; I have tried not to waste my time. My brother, if the fruit been bitter, it is not my fault, but the fault of circumstances. I know that you have suffered much for me, and I am sorry. I assure you, brother, that I die innocent of this crime of rebellion. That my former writings may have contributed toward it, I cannot wholly deny; but then, I thought I had expiated for the pass in my deportation. Tell our father that I remember him, and how much! I remember his affection and his love since my earliest childhood. Ask him to forgive me for the pain I have unwillingly ca
