Why both Eso and lo in the below

Question

Hi all,

Why are both Eso and Lo used in the following sentence?

Eso lo puedo presentar en el tribunal.

I can present that in court.

thanks Roger

Answer 1

To emphasise or for specification purposes; the eso or lo can easily be dropped, altough slighly affecting the meanings:

Puedo presentar eso en el tribunal = I can present that in court.

Lo puedo presentar en el tribunal = I can present it in court.

Answer 2

Thanks. And when both are in there, as in the example, does it convey a particular emphasis? And if so, what?
