Updated March 2, 2021 2:31pm The Court of Appeals (CA) has set aside a Makati judge’s decision reinstating the rebellion case against former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV following the nullification of his amnesty in 2018. In a decision, the CA Sixth Division said Judge Elmo Alameda of the Makati City Regional Trial Court Branch 150 committed grave abuse of discretion when he refused to allow Trillanes to present testimonial evidence to prove that he applied and was granted amnesty in 2011. “The [trial court] limited itself only to hearing oral arguments and receiving affidavits,” the CA said in reversing Alameda’s orders in September and December 2018.
