The reason for the Supreme Court resolution to grant a writ of habeas corpus for the release of Jessica Lucila "Gigi" Reyes may apply in the case of detained former Senator Leila De Lima, Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin "Boying" Remulla said on Friday.
"The writ of habeas corpus is available to the petitioner. Her confinement, though in accordance with a court order of the Sandiganbayan, violates her constitutional right to a speedy trial and infringes on her right to liberty," the SC First Division said in a resolution dated January 17. “So during the in-between period when the person is being tried for a case, hindi available ang habeas corpus. That is what the court did here in this resolution, na yung in-between period when a person is being tried, available na ang habeas corpus kapag naipakita na may violation sa right to a speedy trial,” Te said.
