Trial courts should resolve swiftly all criminal cases like that of Juanito Jose Remulla III’s drugs charge, which took less than three months for a Las Piñas City court to issue a ruling, a group of human rights lawyers said. | santostinaINQ /PDI
Indeed, the swift, expedient and orderly administration of justice should be accorded to all,” the group said.
Remulla, the eldest son of Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla, was arrested by agents of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency on Oct. 11, 2022, at Talon Dos in Las Piñas after he received a package containing close to a kilo of “kush,” or high-grade marijuana, worth P1.3 million. But on Friday, the younger Remulla was acquitted of illegal drug possession by a Las Piñas court, which cited lapses in his arrest and in the chain of custody of the evidence against him.
According to NUPL, Remulla seems to have experienced none of the delays ordinarily brought about by clogged dockets, procedural twists and turns and other factors protracting litigation.“This extraordinary feat in our justice system demonstrates that courts are capable of quickening their pace in resolving cases. In fact, they could declog their dockets if only they act as speedily as the Las Piñas court,” it said.
