Court defers Ampatuan murder trial for another week
| 
| 
MANILA -- The anticipated first day of the trial proper of the Ampatuan multiple murder case in Taguig City failed to push through as scheduled on Wednesday, sending families of the massacred victims into tears.
Judge Jocelyn Solis-Reyes of the Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 221 "partially granted" the motion filed by the defense to suspend the proceedings, resetting the trial for September 8 and 15.
The defense said the trial should not yet resume because one more defense lawyer has not yet filed a comment on the pre-trial order issued by Solis-Reyes last August 27.
The judge said the defense lawyer — a certain Atty. Mariano — only received a copy of the pre-trial order, and under court turles, he has five days to comment on it or until next week.
Prosecution lawyers opposed the suspension request, with assistant senior state proescutor Richard Fadullon telling the judge: "Every day that passes that the case is not heard is a big insult and they have suffered enough."

Top Rank, Inc. CEO Bob Arum, who promotes both fighters, cited the Texas Athletic Commission for granting Margarito a license to fight again in the United States after the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) suspended him last year. “Evidence determines guilt or innocence and there was not one shred of evidence that Antonio Margarito knew anything about the hand wrap,” Arum said during a press conference at the Rodeo Room of the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles, California on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila). The CSAC suspended Margarito after a plaster-like substance was found in his hand wraps ahead of his January 2009 bout against Shane Mosley. The Margarito vs Pacquiao fight, which still lacks a title, will be held on November 13 at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington Texas. “Probably Pacquiao-Margarito is all the title that it needs,” Arum commented. Pacquiao’s Canadian adviser, Michael Koncz, slammed Margarito’s critics for being too hard on him. |
