Court asks prison
officials:
explain Villarosa ‘leaves’ |
|
By Jomar Canlas Reporter
The Court of Appeals (CA) ordered
the New Bilibid Prison to explain the leaves from jail made by
former Occidental Mindoro Governor and convict Jose Villarosa for
medical check-ups, since these were undertaken without the proper
court orders.
The order of the appellate
court’s Special Former Sixth Division stemmed from a letter lodged
with Presiding Justice Conrado Vasquez Jr. from former Rep. Ricardo
Quintos of the same province, who cited that Villarosa was released
twice already, particularly on December 2006 and December 2007.
