a trial court’s ruling that denied the dismissal of the serious illegal detention for ransom filed against him and six others by comedian and television host Ferdinand “Vhong” Navarro.
The criminal complaint also stated that P2 million was demanded for Navarro’s release, and that the actor agreed to shell out P1 million. In denying Lee’s motion, the CA through Associate Justice Angelene Mary Quimpo-Sale, ruled that “Generally, a defect pertaining to the failure of an information to charge facts constituting an offense is one that may be corrected by an amendment. In such instances, courts are mandated not to automatically quash the information, rather, it should grant the prosecution the opportunity to cure the defect through an amendment.
The Department of Justice upheld the prosecutors’ dismissal of the complaints for rape and acts of lasciviousness filed by Cornejo against Navarro. The SC decision, written by Justice Henri Jean Paul Inting, ruled that the CA gravely erred in ordering the DOJ to resurrect the rape case against Navarro despite the inconsistencies in the complaints filed by Cornejo.
