The three are facing serious illegal detention case for allegedly mauling comedian Vhong Navarro inside a condominium unit at the Bonifacio Global City (BCG) last January 22.
Navarro was allegedly invited by Cornejo to her condo unit where he was allegedly blindfolded, beaten, threatened and detained by Lee and his men.
Other reports indicated, however, an angle involving an alleged attempted rape by Navarro.
In a radio interview Monday afternoon, Cornejo’s lawyer Axel Gonzales said they have obtained a copy of the court’s resolution on the bail plea.
According to Gonzales, the gist of the 72-page resolution, which was thoroughly discussed by the court, found that Navarro’s camp “fails to prove that there is strong evidence for the continued detention of the accused.”
The court, according to the lawyer, ordered each accused to post P500,000 bail for their temporary liberty.
Lawyers Howard Calleja and Concepcion JimenezAquino, counsels for Lee, said they welcome the positive development.
“This is a big step in proving what we have been reiterating from the inception of this case which is the truth that our clients are innocent of the charges against them,” they said in a text message.
Meanwhile, lawyer Alma Mallonga, counsel for Navarro, said they are very shocked by the court’s decision.
“We are very sure that a serious crime has been committed,” Mallonga said adding that they are very confident about the evidence that have including the CCTV footage, Navarro’s testimony as well as that of the National Bureau of Investigation, among others.
She said they will file a motion for reconsideration to contest the decision.
Alam na. Corrupt system. Nalagyan na.

Deleteoh well, good for deniece. i dont think she deserves to be in jail. as for the 2 guys, sila ang dapat, pati si vhong na rapist.
DeleteAww.. =( kakalungkot naman ang justice system sa atin. Sobrang iniisip ko talaga to migrate.. Pag may nabanga ka na over yaman, kahit na wala ka kasalanan ikaw pa matatalo... Kawawa naman si vhong.. The rich guy has the power to make baliktad the facts.. Baka balikan siya.. Kahit maypera si vhong to hire body guards mas mayaman yung kalaban.. Haay... Sayang.. Kala ko pa naman justice will be served kahit on this case man lang

Sabi nga nung nainterview sa news, pag lumabas ka ng bahay mo di ka sure kung buhay ka pang makakauwi... :(
ReplyDeletecorrection my friend , your idol had the means to do so. Your idol, he can very well afford a lawyer. money talks therefore, i wonder why there were no takers considering that it is a very high profile case. if your idol really believed that he was telling the truth or his charges were the absolute truth, spending that money would have been money well spent. Yung idol ninyo hindi poorita corazon, na walang access sa mga resources. He also had the media mileage on his case. The case was dealt with fair and square and Judge Paz stayed true to impartiality of the law. My take on the decision, there was never a false imprisonment in the first place , there was not enough valid evidence to support the charges by the prosecution nor there were any reasonable grounds for the accused to be guilty of the offence.
DeleteDaming kamag anak ni Cedric dito.
DeleteThat's for missymissy
DeleteSORRY TO DISAPPOINT YOU anon 8;09 and 10:08 , but I am not related to any of them.
DeleteIs it so sad to hear the truth, that you got fooled by your idol and the network. Watching too much of shoetime actually dulls the brain. I am not a fan of anybody but I am interested in anything pertaining to the law , politics and my parent's homeland. Judge Paz has been known to be clean , fair and impartial. I do not think that she is so dumb to sully her reputation for a few pesos. Masakit ang katotohanan but para sa madlang people ng shoetime,it is up to the discretion of the court to determine and decide the outcome of the case. The court is the only arbiter of the law not the gullible or ignorant fans of EBS or shoetime, hahha, Aral lang pag may time my dear, so you can argue well your opinions, hindi lang hanngang comments ng tulog na or kamag- anak. The law libraries I guess are open to the public back home , go spend some quite time there my friends. JUDGE PAZ, Philippines need more judges like you.
anon 8:09 and 10:08 , is that all you can say...ha ha ha... We do not know Cedric et al.. In fact we can not even differentiate him from Adam, Harry or Larry. By the way, if by chance you know him or any of the company that he keeps, please wish him well and all the best......
DeleteHindi co din maintindihan ang judicial system sa Pinas..ang hulidap na pulis, nakakabalik pa sa service...ang nangbugbog, tumakas, nahuli, may CCTV, nakapagbail..
ReplyDeleteBaliktad ang justice system ng pinas
DeleteI'm sure may bodyguards na si Vhong pero this time ipabullet at bomb-proof niya na rin mga kotse niya.
ReplyDeleteVHONGGGGGGG HUMANDA KA NA HAHAHAHA...ISAMA MO SI BILLY DA KID....PAREHO KAYONG MABOGBOG ULIT
ReplyDeleteOops, its payback time :)
ReplyDeleteSayang lang ang mga CCTV wala naman palang kwenta....pano pa kaya kung walang CCTV haaaaaaayyyy
ReplyDeleteif it's the real unedited version it has value but if it's the edited televised version, you are right talagang walang kwenta! diba any tampered evidence is inadmissible in court. that is your answer, fantard
Deleteit's showtime! hihi
