The son of Justice Secretary Crispin Remulla has been acquitted of possession of illegal drugs by a Las Piñas City regional trial court. But how did that happen? | BPinlacINQ
The testimonies of prosecution witnesses – PDEA intelligence officers Eduardo Bongao Jr. and Clint Mek-eng – were key in establishing that Juanito had no intention to possess the volume of illegal drugs found in the package.
Controlled deliveries, according to the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002, is an investigative technique of allowing an unlawful or suspect consignment of illicit drugs to go forward under the control and surveillance of law enforcement agents to secure evidence against those behind the illegal drug trade.The court likewise expressed “serious reservations on the integrity and evidentiary value of the dangerous drugs allegedly received.
“There was no evidence how the parcel or the two vacuum packed transparent plastic bags it contained were resealed on that date,” the court, however, notes. The ruling adds: “There was no information on how the seized illegal drug was stored after it was examined by the forensic chemist, who handled the specimen for examination, and where the same was kept until it was retrieved and presented in court. Once again, the chain of custody has been compromised.”
The law also requires a representative from the media and the Department of Justice and any elected public official to sign the copies of the inventory.
