The camp of homicide convict US Marine Lance Corporal Joseph Scott Pemberton is pushing for the immediate processing of his release papers by the Bureau of Corrections.
BuCor on Thursday said it was holding off processing of the release papers, citing a pending motion for reconsideration filed by the family of Pemberton’s victim.
In an interview yesterday over dzBB, Pemberton’s lawyer Rowena Garcia-Flores said keeping her client in detention despite a court release order is a violation of his right to due process.
Department of Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said the DOJ is preparing its own MR, possibly with help from the Office of the Solicitor General.
“The DOJ intends to file its own motion for reconsideration early next week,” Guevarra said.
Olongapo City Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 74 Judge Roline Ginez Jabalde issued the order, dated Sept. 1, acting on a motion filed by the camp of Pemberton.
