    Ombudsman will not appeal Senator Revilla’s acquittal of 16 PDAF graft charges

    The Office of the Ombudsman has rested its case against Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr.   This after the Sandiganbayan (SB) acquitted him for insufficiency of evidence on the remaining 16 graft cases in relation to the pork barrel scam.  The SB First Division voted to grant Senator Revilla’s Demurrer to Evidence, AND WE RESPECT ITS DECISION.

    Consistent with the defendant’s constitutional right against double jeopardy, Ombudsman Samuel Martires sets the policy of no longer challenging the dismissal of cases/quashal of information and judgments of acquittal, either through a motion to dismiss, a demurrer to evidence or by a decision, rendered by the trial courts or the Sandiganbayan except when the People was clearly deprived of due process or there was mistrial.

    In , Senator Revilla was accused of diverting his Priority Development Assistance Fund for the years to to non-governmental organizations linked to Janet Napoles, and getting PM kickback in the process.
