A group of human rights lawyers has urged trial courts to resolve criminal cases speedily like what the Las Pinas City regional trial court (RTC) did on the case of Juanito Jose D. Remulla III, eldest son of Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin C. Remulla.
A group of human rights lawyers has urged trial courts to resolve criminal cases speedily like what the Las Pinas City regional trial court did on the case of Juanito Jose D. Remulla III, eldest son of Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin C. Remulla.
Juanito was arrested on Oct. 11, 2022 for alleged possession of illegal drugs. After preliminary investigation, he was charged in court for violation of Section 11, Article II of Republic Act No. 9165, the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act ofr 2002. The NUPL said: “For the nameless and disadvantaged, the right to speedy trial and disposition of cases is an illusion, such that if it becomes a reality for a few lucky ones—often the rich and the powerful—they find it hard to believe and can only sigh ‘sana all’ in the vain hope that the wheel of justice will grind as fast for them as it did for Remulla.”
It said: “The short and quick trial of Juanito Jose Remulla III is a rare example of a speedy trial and disposition of a case against an accused. It took only 79 days for the Las Piñas Regional Trial Court to arraign him, conduct pre-trial, receive evidence, and draft and promulgate its judgment. Remulla seems to have experienced none of the delays ordinarily brought about by clogged dockets, procedural twists and turns, and other factors protracting litigation.
