Sep 03 2020 12:47 PMA lawyer for the family of slain transgender Jennifer Laude said Thursday they did not know that Joseph Scott Pemberton, the US Marine Lance Corporal convicted in her killing, had sought early release from prison, which a court granted this week.
The Olongapo City Regional Trial Court Branch 74 and Pemberton's lawyers "violated our due process" when they failed to inform Laude's camp of proceedings for the soldier to walk free for good behavior, said lawyer Virginia Suarez.
She said she only learned of Pemberton's good conduct time allowance (GCTA) last week, when she went to the court."Nagkakaroon na pala ng mga hearing, nagkakaroon na pala ng kung ano-anong motions nang hindi namin alam-- not even the Center Law, not.
