The Muntinlupa Regional Trial Court Branch 206 has dismissed former Senator Leila de Lima’s last drug case.
Her attorney, Boni Tacardon, verified that de Lima’s move for a demurrer to the evidence was approved by the court. In March, De Lima submitted a demurrer, asking the court to reject the case for lack of proof.
The prosecution’s evidence proved insufficient to establish de Lima’s guilt, according to the court’s decision.
The Muntinlupa City RTC-Branch 205 dismissed one of her three cases in February 2021. Along with her co-accused and former bodyguard, Ronnie Dayan, de Lima was acquitted for the second time in May 2023 by the Muntinlupa RTC Branch 204.
