'Sana ito ang way na makasama namin ang aming mga mahal sa buhay na napakatagal nang nawalay sa amin.' Kin of Bilibid inmates demand same Duterte 'grace' granted to Pemberton
MANILA — Unlike some Filipinos outraged by President Rodrigo Duterte's "act of grace" that would allow an American soldier to walk free after conviction for a Filipino transgender woman's slay, alias "Inday" said she was ecstatic.
But Duterte's surprise decision to grant US Marine Lance Cpl. Joseph Scott Pemberton of absolute pardon made Inday more hopeful than ever. Duterte on Monday gave absolute pardon to Pemberton—convicted in 2015 for killing Filipino transgender woman Jennifer Laude—just as the justice department planned to question the early release that a court granted to him due to good conduct credits.
Factoring in GCTA credits, Inday's husband would have already served more or less 40 years in prison, she said. For Inday, her husband is more deserving of the same benefit Duterte granted Pemberton.
