Aurora Gov. Noveras to undergo trial on graft case — Sandiganbayan

The Sandiganbayan has stood pat on its ruling that Aurora Gov. Gerardo A. Noveras should undergo trial on the graft case filed against him.

A demurrer to evidence is a pleading to dismiss a criminal charge on allegation of the weakness of the prosecution’s evidence. If granted by the court, the accused is acquitted. If denied, the accused has to stand trial and present his evidence to rebut those of the prosecution’s. In denying his motion, the Sandiganbayan warned that if Noveras decides to file his demurrer without leave of court , he will be waiving his right to present his evidence and the charge against him will be submitted for decision.

The prosecution alleged that from March to Sept. 2014, Noveras and his co-accused conspired with one another and gave undue advantage to RMCR Construction by awarding it the contract for the repair of the Dimalang Bridge Approach of the Casiguran-Dilasag Provincial Road and the Road Section of the Casiguran-Dilasag Provincial Road without public bidding.
