DUTERTE FILES PETITION BEFORE SUPREME COURT
Vice President Sara Duterte has filed a petition for certiorari before the Supreme Court challenging the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Quezon City Regional Trial Court over the prosecution of her NBI grave threats cases.
In a statement on Thursday, her counsel, Atty. Paul Lawrence Lim, said Duterte also filed an amended petition seeking a temporary restraining order and/or a writ of preliminary mandatory injunction.
“The amended petition challenges the DOJ and Quezon City Regional Trial Court’s jurisdiction to prosecute her as an incumbent impeachable officer. The High Court has published our pleadings on its website,” he said.
