Imelda Marcos tells Sandiganbayan: I’ll take case to Supreme Court

/ 02:55 PM December 05, 2018

MANILA, Philippines — Former First Lady and Ilocos Norte 2nd Dist. Rep. Imelda Marcos has notified the Sandiganbayan Fifth Division that she will bring her appeal to the Supreme Court (SC).

In a Notice of Appeal from Marcos’ camp, she requested the anti-graft court to provide the SC records of her case.  The Sandiganbayan received her notice on Wednesday.

“Accused hereby gives the Honorable Court notice that she is appealing the adverse Decision dated 09 November 2018 and requests that the records of this case be forwarded to the Supreme Court for further proceedings,” Marcos said in the document prepared by her counsel, Atty. Manuel Lazaro.

Marcos initially submitted a similar Notice of Appeal, but the Fifth Division’s Clerk of Court said it was premature since at the time the court has not yet decided whether or not it would grant her motion for leave to avail of post-conviction remedies.
