Lawyer Larry Gadon revealed on Thursday, May 6, that he has received evidence that would support the bid to remove Supreme Court Associate Justice Marvic Leonen for committing the same offense that former Chief Justice Ma. Lourdes has been accused of.
This developed as Gadon called on the House Committee on Justice to immediately set the hearing of the impeachment complaint against Leonen as soon as it is referred to the panel.
Gadon said that although they have gathered evidence that may warrant the filing of a quo warranto case against Leonen, his client, journalist Edwin Cordevilla, will continue to pursue the magistrate’s removal via impeachment.
