                    [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.

Estrada is probably "bothered" that the Sandiganbayan anti-graft court might give weight to Ocampo’s testimony that he is also Jose Velarde, an alias Estrada allegedly used while keeping the bank account, Marcelo said.

In a six-page motion, lead defense counsel Rene Saguisag urged the justices of the special division to strike out the testimony of Ocampo and Manuel Curato, both of Equitable PCI Bank, who had declared during the former president’s impeachment trial that Estrada and the user of the bank alias Jose Velarde were one and the same.
