Which senators face re-election?
Aside from the evidence presented during the trial, electoral politics is widely believed to be a vital factor in the decisions by senator-judges to acquit or convict. Six of the senators are expected to run for re-election in 2013: Alan Peter Cayetano, Chiz Escudero, Gringo Honasan, Loren Legarda, Koko Pimentel, and Antonio Trillanes IV.
A few others may be casting moist eyes towards the next presidential polls in 2016, when their vote in 2012 may still come back to haunt them.
The following graphic shows when the senators' terms expire.
