0:00.0	Nearly 40 years after a high-profile sexual assault in the Philippines, questions and controversy remain.
0:10.1	This is the Delia Duena Smith story. Hi, Amy.
0:26.4	Hey, Megan.
0:27.2	How are you?
0:28.5	I'm good, and I heard you say Philippines.
0:32.0	Yes.
0:32.8	And why this, well, I mean, why it piqued my interest.
0:36.2	I know it's part of our International
0:37.6	Month series, but I feel like I saw an Instagram message. Yes. And perhaps this relates to that
0:45.4	message. Is that right? It does. Actually, this is from a listener all the way from the Philippines.

1:24.2	but I wouldn't know, you know, the operations necessarily in the Philippines or,
1:30.2	you know, other countries. So it's really cool to have a little inside help, too, and to not just
1:34.6	have to research it. Because also there's the formal and then there's an informal way that the law
1:41.6	really works. So that's cool. And that's exactly what I was interested in,
1:45.3	because my research explained it to me, but it still didn't make sense to me how it actually
1:49.7	played out in the courtroom. Got it. Thank you again to Ann Jeanette. Today's case is interesting
