Unfazed by court s denial of demurrer and bail bids, De Lima more determined to prove her innocence
Opposition Senator Leila M. de Lima has shared that she has grown more determined to prove her innocence from all the trumped-up drug charges filed against her, following the court s denial of her motion to post bail and junk one of her two remaining bogus drug cases.
In a two-page order last March 5, Judge Liezel Aquiatan of the Muntinlupa Regional Trial Court (RTC), Branch 205 ruled that the court stands with its Omnibus Order that De Lima must present her evidence to prove her innocence of the crime charged.
Detained Senator Leila de Lima’s drug case with co-accused Ronnie Dayan stays as a Muntinlupa court stood by its order denying their appeal to have it thrown out.

De Lima on Prosecution s presentation of self-confessed drug lord witness vs her: Dereliction of duty or subornation of perjury?
Opposition Senator Leila M. de Lima has questioned whether the Prosecution team committed subornation of perjury or dereliction of duty when they allowed convicted murderer Joel Capones to be presented in court as their witness against her.
In a Manifestation before the Muntinlupa Regional Trial Court (RTC), Branch 256 dated Feb. 24, De Lima, through her lawyers, stressed that it is important to know whether or not the Prosecution believes their own witness. If the Prosecution does not believe that Joel Capones was telling the truth, and yet they presented him as a witness before the Court, then the Prosecution would have committed the offense of subornation of perjury or, at the very least, violated their lawyer s oath, De Lima said.
A resolution seeking to allow detained Senator Leila de Lima to participate in Senate hearings and plenary sessions through teleconferencing and other forms of remote or electronic communications has been filed again in the Senate.
