MANILA, Philippines — Actor Vhong Navarro’s petition challenging the dismissal of grave coercion charges against one of the respondents in a complaint connected to his rape case has been
In a decision dated November 11, CA’s Special Sixteenth Division said Navarro’s petition for certiorari regarding the dismissal of grave coercion charges against Jed Fernandez was dismissed because both the prosecution and the defense were afforded due process.
However, the Taguig court eventually revised its ruling and dismissed the charges against Fernandez as the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. Navarro then challenged the court’s decision before the CA, claiming the Taguig court abused its discretion.“In vain hope to make this case as an exception against the double jeopardy proscription, Navarro claims that the trial court committed mistrial resulting in a denial of due process. We are unconvinced.
According to the CA, due process simply means providing all sides the chance to be heard — which was done in the hearing of the grave coercion case. Navarro’s grave coercion complaint stemmed from his meeting with Cornejo in a Taguig City condominium where she alleged that the actor had raped her. Navarro countered that he was the victim of a set-up.
