The Sandiganbayan has denied an appeal seeking to reinstate the conviction of Senator Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada on one count of direct bribery and two counts of indirect bribery.In an eight-page ruling dated November 27, the anti-graft court dismissed the motion for reconsideration filed by the prosecution, saying it cannot revisit the case due to double jeopardy.
“His acquittal cannot be assailed under the guise of a motion for reconsideration as the first jeopardy has already attached which will be discussed hereunder,” it added.In August, the Sandiganbayan cleared Estrada of charges in connection with the alleged misuse of P183 million in Priority Development Assistance Fund allocations due to lack of evidence.Earlier in the year, Estrada was acquitted of plunder but found guilty of bribery.
