Former president Rodrigo Duterte said the court’s decision to clear former senator Leila de Lima of the third and last drug case against her after seven years, following her acquittal in two earlier cases, must be respected.In a visit to Tacloban City, Duterte said De Lima’s acquittal should be welcomed as this shows that democracy is working, as reported on GMA’s “24 Oras Weekend” on Sunday.
The former lawmaker filed her demurrer in March, where she asked the court to acquit and declare her not guilty for failure of the prosecution to prove their cause.De Lima is now considering legal action to hold Duterte and other individuals allegedly behind her detention due to the charges related to illegal drugs.
