The case would need to be re-raffled again – for the second time this year – to another Muntinlupa court.
filed by Department of Justice prosecutors was made public. In their motion, the prosecutors said they “cannot help but be apprehensive that the Honorable Presiding Judge will carry over his perceptions to the instant case,” pertaining to Judge Alcantara’s previous decision acquitting De Lima. The said process will take time, including the transfer of necessary case files from one court to another.
Previously, De Lima’s co-accused asked Muntinlupa City RTC Branch 256 Presiding Judge Romeo Buenaventura to inhibit himself, citing conflict of interest. Judge Buenaventura, in an order dated June 15, inhibited from the case. Two of the three drug cases were already dismissed, but De Lima remains detained because her petition for bail in her remaining drug charge was denied by Judge Buenaventura in early June.
Alcantara said that difference in opinion on applicable laws and jurisprudence between legal counsels and the judge is not a proper ground for disqualification in the case. Opinions framed in the course of judicial proceedings – as long as based on evidence – do not constitute bias or prejudice, said the judge.
