According to a 26-page decision promulgated on July 21 and written by Associate Justice Florencio Mamauag Jr. of the CA 14th Division, it has granted Deniece Milinette Cornejo’s petition for certiorari and ruled against the Department of Justice’s resolutions to deny the review of her cases against the prominent TV host on April 30, 2018 and July 14, 2020.
According to the second highest court in the land, it was erroneous on the part of the DOJ to deny the petition for review of Cornejo on grounds that her statements in the complaint-affidavits were “inconsistent and incredible.” “In this regard, it bears to stress that the determination of probable cause does not depend on the validity or merits of a party’s accusation or defense or on the admissibility or veracity of testimonies presented,” they added.
“What is merely required is probability of guilt, the determination of which does not call for the application of rules or standards of proof that a judgment of conviction requires after trial on the merits,” the CA said.
ICYMI: Deniece Cornejo's earlier petition to review cases involving Vhong Navarro was denied by the DOJ for being 'inconsistent.'
