+ February 07, 2021 BUSINESSWOMAN Janet Lim Napoles will file charges against the three Sandiganbayan associate justices who convicted her of graft over the misuse of pork barrel funds allotted to former Cagayan de Oro congressman Constantino Jaraula.
Her legal counsel Rony Garay said charges of “gross ignorance of the law, manifest partiality and extreme bias” will be filed against Justices Geraldine Faith Econg, Reynaldo dela Cruz and Edgardo Caldona
He said the conviction of Napoles, Jaraula and three others “had been clearly hurried and handed down haphazardly” without considering their pending motions and looking at the evidence.
Garay cited the erroneous inclusion of Napoles in the direct bribery conviction of Jaraula, which the Sandiganbayan later said was a typographical error.

Her lawyer, Rony Garay, said the 103-page decision handed down by Associate Justices Edgardo M. Caldona, Efren N. Dela Cruz and Geraldine Faith A. Econg is “haphazard” because it used “inadmissible evidence under the Cybercrime Law.”
Garay said charges of gross ignorance of the law, manifest partiality, and extreme bias will be filed against the three anti-graft court magistrates.
