With speculations running high that verdict on US Marine Lance Corporal Joseph Scott Pemberton will fall on the 24th of this month, the founding anniversary of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA), Deputy City Prosecutor Misael Ladaga said it has already been reset for December 1.
Ladaga said the promulgation of the murder case of transgender Jeffrey “Jennifer” Laude was rescheduled after the defense filed a motion requesting its postponement.
The motion was granted by Judge Roline Ginez-Jabalde of the Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 74.
The Laude family’s legal counsel Atty. Virgie Suarez said the defense panel was not available on the earlier date and requested a much later date.
Defense lawyer, Atty. Rowena Garcia-Flores, confirmed there was a motion for postponement because she would be in Italy while co-defense lawyer, Atty. Filemon Ray Javier, would be out of town on the original date of promulgation.
Suarez said that she is giving them the benefit of doubt, but was perplexed as to why they rescheduled the verdict on a case of this magnitude.
