THE Quezon City judge handling the obstruction of justice case filed against Marlene Aguilar-Pollard yesterday inhibited from further prosecuting the case. QC Metropolitan Trial Court Branch 35 Presiding Judge Voltaire Agas inhibited from the case after granting the urgent motion to inhibit filed by Assistant City Prosecutor Ulric Badiola. In a three-page order, Judge Agas said that “in order to remove any doubt or taint of suspicion of partiality or biases of presiding judge and to the best interest of orderly administration of justice”, he inhibited himself from further hearing the case. It would be recalled that even before Badiola filed the motion, Agas had already disclosed his fraternal relationship with Aguilar-Pollard’s legal counsel, Mitzell Arthur Magdaong. Judge Agas and Atty. Magdaong are both members of the Alpha Phi Beta fraternity of the San Beda College of Law. Following his inhibition, Judge Agas has asked the QCMTRC Clerk of Court for the re-raffle of the case. The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) filed the case against Aguilar after she allegedly deliberately misled and shielded her son, Jason Ivler, from being arrested. |
