Joseph Scott Pemberton if they continue to resist transferring the American soldier to the national penitentiary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">One of the legal counsels of Laude family, Atty. Harry Roque, raised the possibility of filing a case against security personnels, saying that Pemberton\u2019s detention in the Joint US Military Assistance Group (Jusmag) compound in Camp Aguinaldo is a sign of \u201cdisobedience of a local court order,\u201d wherein the Olongapo Court originally ordered Pemberton to be detained at the New Bilibid Prison.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On a hearing last Tuesday, Olongapo court sentenced Pemberton between six to twelve years in prison at the national penitentiary for killing Laude, but the US security personnel refused to turn him over to the police, while his lawyers quickly filed a motion asking the court where he should be detained under the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Presidential Commission on the Visiting Forces Agreement, the Department of Justice (DOJ), the PNP and the US Embassy issued a 5-day memorandum of agreement on where Pemberton should be detained, as ruled by the court. It also ordered that he will be detained at Jusmag compound in Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City for the meantime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Roque said their camp will wait until the submission of the MOA, and said they\u2019re mulling charges if they don\u2019t turn over Pemberton\u2019s custody. And<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>added that they\u2019ll also include the guards in the charges in refusing to comply with local orders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Roque, together with other lawyers of the Laude family are studying all the legal options including the possible appeal on homicide verdict.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA, PHILIPPINES &#8211; Lawyers of the slain transgender Filipino woman Jennifer Laude said they will consider to file charges against &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":66155,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1145,95],"tags":[249],"class_list":["post-66154","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headline","category-news-ph","tag-rewrite","mauthors-mavelle-p-durian","mauthors-philippine-canadian-inquirer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66154"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66154\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/66155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66154"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
