MANILA — Lawyers of US Marine Lance Corporal Joseph Scott Pemberton yesterday denied that they offered a P21M-settlement to\u00a0Jeffrey \u201cJennifer\u201d Laude’s family.<\/p>\n

In a statement for a Philippine Star report, Benjamin Tolosa Jr., said that it was the Laude family who requested\u00a0for the said demand.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to clarify and to put on record straight\u2026 it is an absolute lie, we did not make an offer\u2026 It was they who made the P21-million demand when plea bargaining was discussed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

This is following earlier statement of the Laude family adding that they will not agree to any settlement in the murder case.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the trial reached its second day with the prosecution presenting \u00a0the second of the 27 witnesses in the stand, Mark Clarence “Barbie” Caguioa Gelviro, a transgender friend of Laude.<\/p>\n

According to one of the lawyers of the Laude family, Gelviro confirmed earlier statement of witness that Pemberton was with Laude when she left them at the Celzone Lodge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
