The Sandiganbayan has junked the appeal of former Makati Mayor Elenita Binay regarding its resolution last year that denied her plea to file a demurrer to evidence in the 2012 graft and malversation case filed against her. | dempseyreyesINQ /PDI
In a resolution promulgated on Jan. 13, the antigraft court’s Fourth Division said the motion filed by Binay, the wife of former Vice President Jejomar Binay, was just a “rehash” of the arguments in her motion for leave filed in 2022.“The other issues raised by the accused are evidentiary in nature and are matters of defense, the truth which can best be passed upon after a full-blown trial on the merits,” it added. Binay was charged over the alleged irregular purchase of P9.
In November last year, the same division of the Sandiganbayan denied her plea to file a demurrer to evidence in which she sought the outright dismissal of her case due to the prosecution’s supposedly weak evidence against her.
