Guide for covering the bail hearings: No need anymore for any kind of ruling on any motion to transfer any hearing because the accused can waive presence in any hearing after arraignment. Accused does not have to be present in the bail hearing if she is afraid for her life, therefore, as i said ages ago, this has been rendered moot.
Note however that only one day, one hearing date, has been set for the bail hearings. Eight witnesses direct and cross, for the prosecution; 17 witnesses direct and cross for the accused, morning to…
midnight? (see my previous post below for discussion on setting of hearing dates).
Janet Lim-Napoles’s motion, by counsel, filed only this morning, to transfer the physical site of the arraignment from Makati to Fort Sto. Domingo has now been rendered mute and epidemic, este, er, moot and academic — reporters show she is now en route to Makati. Stand by.
