Title: Janet Napoles seeks bail
Post by: Zurca on September 18, 2013, 08:01:14 PM

MANILA, Philippines - Businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles yesterday asked the Makati Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 150 to allow her to post bail.

Makati RTC Branch 150 clerk-of-court Diosfa Valencia said Napoles, through her lawyer Lorna Kapunan, argued that she is entitled to post bail even though she is charged with a non-bailable offense because the evidence against her is weak.

Valencia said the court would hear Napoles’ motion to post bail at 1:30 p.m. on Friday.

Makati RTC Branch 150 Judge Elmo Alameda earlier denied Napoles’ motions to suspend proceedings and for a bill of particulars, saying the charge of serious illegal detention against her and her brother Reynald Lim by their cousin Benhur Luy is sufficient.

In her urgent motion for bill of particulars, Napoles said the case against her is defective and vague.

Napoles added that she is not in a position to defend herself because she is not sufficiently informed of the crime she is being charged with.

But the court said the case “accurately and clearly allege all the essential elements” of serious illegal detention. It also “meets the constitutional guarantee that accused Janet Lim-Napoles is informed of the nature of the accusation leveled against her,” it added.

“The information sufficiently allege that the accused are private individuals; they detained Benhur Luy and deprived him of his liberty; their act of detaining Benhur is illegal; in the commission of the offense, the detention lasted for more than three days,” the order stated.

Napoles also earlier filed a motion to defer her arraignment, saying she has a pending petition for certiorari with the Court of Appeals (CA).

But Alameda said a pending petition for certiorari before the CA will not automatically suspend the proceedings. He added that if the court fails to proceed with the arraignment of Napoles, he as presiding judge could be slapped with an administrative case because the CA has not issued a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction.

Alameda also denied the motion to suspend proceedings filed by Lim, saying the latter is not entitled to such relief.

“There is no law or rule which prohibits this court from proceeding with the case even if the accused Reynald Lim has a pending motion for reconsideration filed with the Department of Justice,” he said.

He added that Lim, who remains at large, has not been placed under the jurisdiction of the court.

Alameda ordered that the arraignment of Napoles push through on Sept. 23 at 1:130 p.m.

 :-\  hmmm... under the law, she is being charged for "Illegal Detention" which is a bailable offense.... but the thing is that she is now being implicated and charged together with the 3 senators for plunder... now, under the rule of law, "Plunder" is not a bailable offense... thus, she will continue to languish in jail even more until proven innocent of plunder charges... sarap naman ng buhay ng asawa nito na General... hehehehe... solo nya ngayon ang pasarap sa buhay... hahahaha....

Her lawyers aren't doing her any favors by pissing on public opinion like this little stunt right here.

Perhaps she's not aware or oblivious to the gravity of her case. Anyway she can post bail to the tune of 10 billion pesos just for starters.

Weak daw ang evidence niya!? to a woman who is smart enough to get away with 10billion for so long seems illogical. I'm not also a lawyer, i'm not sure but unless the evidence is not sufficient or doesn't meet the cut to file a case then she can get away with it but though the evidence is weak and made the cut to file a case to an unbailable offense then she just need to prove her self not guilty to go home....so good luck madam...kailangang masanay ka nang nakakakulong or do what madam glory did.....maglagay ka sa katawan mo ng life threatening disease para sa ospital ka nila dalin.....

Tignan mo nga naman ang tigas ng muka nito noh, pero sana ok lang na maibail at sigurado akong may papatay dyan pag labas na pag labas niya sa kulungan.
