PHILSTAR: Comelec seeks to defer GMA trial to 2013
- The Comm. on Elections has asked the Pasay City Regional Trial Court (RTC) to postpone the trial of former President and now Pamp. Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo for electoral sabotage. Felda Domingo, Pasay RTC branch 112 spokesperson, said Comelec lawyers, in an ex-parte motion, asked to reset the pretrial to Jan. 31, Feb. 7, 21 and 28 next year because the poll agency would be too busy performing election duties in preparation for the 2013 midterm elections. She said Judge Jesus Mupas has asked the lawyers of Arroyo to comment on the motion of the prosecution panel seeking postponement of the trial.
