[Title] => Sandigan asked to wrap up Erap defense
[Summary] => Prosecutors asked the Sandiganbayan yesterday to terminate the defense presentation in the plunder and perjury trial of ousted President Joseph Estrada.
Led by Special Prosecutor Dennis Villa Ignacio, the prosecutors said Estrada and his lawyers could no longer validly claim denial of due process because they have had almost three years to prepare and present their case since the last government witness testified in April 2003.
"They are simply dragging (out) the proceedings," the prosecutors said.

[Title] => Ombudsman to US: Let Jimenez stay here
[Summary] => The evidence Congressman-elect Mark Jimenez would provide for the prosecution could make or break the government plunder case against former President Joseph Estrada.
Ombudsman Aniano Desierto said the prosecution will thus ask the US to allow Jimenez to stay and give his testimony to the Sandiganbayan, if and when Jimenez’s extradition case is decided by the courts.
Desierto said the prosecution panel might encounter problems in the presentation of evidence if Jimenez would not be able to testify.

[Title] => Estrada lawyers question use of alias rap
[Summary] => Lawyers of deposed President Joseph Estrada asked the Sandiganbayan yesterday to declare illegal the prosecutors’ reference to an alias in their plunder case against the jailed leader.
In a 12-page motion, Estrada’s legal counsel Rene Saguisag said prosecutors casually assumed that the alias "Jose Velarde" referred to Estrada when they could not even cite proofs that Velarde and the former president are one and the same.
