Lawyers of detained Sen. Leila de Lima and government prosecutors are debating on the issue of bail, which she is seeking in one of the three drug cases filed by the Department of Justice (DOJ) against her before a Muntinlupa court in 2017.

Detained Senator Leila de Lima leaves the Muntinlupa Hall of Justice after attending a hearing in June 2019

In her motion, De Lima said she should be granted bail on the following grounds: the prosecution failed to prove the conspiracy between her and Dera, there is strong evidence of her innocence based on the testimonies of witnesses, the prosecution failed to prove illegal drug trading, testimonies of other witnesses are questionable for being hearsay, irrelevant, biased and self-serving; and that she is not a flight risk.

The prosecution believes they presented strong evidence of illegal drug trade activities in NBP and that “the inference of guilt” is strong.
