THE Sandiganbayan Special Fifth Division cleared Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada of one count of direct bribery and two counts of indirect bribery due to 'insufficient evidence.'In a resolution dated August 22, the Sandiganbayan said that the only evidence of money sent to Estrada was the P1 million deposited into his Bank of Commerce account on September 18, 2008, as shown in Benhur Luy's summary and that no other evidence was provided.
This ruling reaffirms the innocence I have consistently maintained throughout the ordeal, which spanned a decade, as I sought to prove the baselessness of the accusations against me,' Estrada said.'Pinatotohanan ng korte ang naunang pahayag na wala akong tinanggap na suhol, direkta man o hindi. Hindi ako kailanman gumamit ng pondo ng bayan para sa pansariling interes o para pagtakpan ang anumang gawain na taliwas sa mga umiiral na batas.
