00:00The negotiator, Cedric Lee, has already surrendered to the National Bureau of Investigation.
00:05After being sentenced in a serious case of illegal detention for ransom,
00:10the actor, Vong Navarro, was charged in 2014.
00:14Dennis Cornejo and Simeon Palmaraz were also arrested.
00:19Lee was also sentenced to life imprisonment.
00:25That's what Benji Durango wrote.
00:30The negotiator, Cedric Lee, smiled when he received a mugshot last night
00:35after he surrendered to the National Bureau of Investigation.
00:37While going through the booking process,
00:39Lee was confident that the court's judge,
00:42who is guilty beyond reasonable doubt in a serious case of illegal detention for ransom,
00:47who was charged by the actor, Vong Navarro.
00:49In an interview with Punto Asintado kay Torni Shan Danggilan,
00:52an NBI spokesman,
00:54it can be helpful for him to appeal his sentence
00:57by surrendering early.
00:59He did a good thing.
01:00Because of his surrender, the case will be solved faster.
01:04The earlier that he can file an appeal, motion for reconsideration,
01:09the better, sir Erwin.
01:11Yesterday, in the absence of a warrant of arrest,
01:13Dennis Cornejo and his partner, Simeon Palmaraz, were arrested
01:17for serving a sentence of reclusion perpetua,
01:20or life imprisonment,
01:22or equal to 20 to 40 years in prison.
01:26Both were possessed while being processed in Taguig PNP.
01:30Cornejo was sentenced to Correctional Institute for Women.
01:33While Raz was sentenced to New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa.
01:37PDL Cornejo is new,
01:40especially his sentence is 40 years in reclusion.
01:44He is in RDC.
01:47RDC is part of Maximum Security Camp.
01:51In the decision issued by Taguig RTC Branch 153,
01:54it came out that they planned to imprison Navarro in 2014 for money laundering.
02:00This was based on the rape and acts of lasciviousness
02:03that Cornejo committed, which was later dismissed by the DOJ.
02:07Cornejo's camp filed an appeal in the Court of Appeals
02:10that was the reason for the arrest of Navarro in 2022.
02:13But in 2023, the court overturned it.
02:16He is very happy because this is what he went through.
02:22It's very easy for Erwin to give up.
02:27So he's finally vindicated.
02:31He's finally vindicated.
02:32We are still forcing Cornejo's camp to release him,
02:35but they are not responding to our calls.
02:37But Navarro's lawyer explained that Cornejo's camp has other options.
02:41From what I understand,
02:43their option is not to ask for a motion for reconsideration,
02:48they will just appeal.
02:50If they lose to the CA, can they appeal to the Supreme Court to pursue the case?
02:55But it depends.
02:56Because not all cases go to the Supreme Court.
03:00For example, sometimes it's discretionary, right?
03:03But yes, technically, they can pursue the case to the Supreme Court.
03:08The court ruled that the four cases are non-bailable or unjustified.
