Corona defender now works for Palace

LAWYER Karen Jimeno, who served as spokesperson of the defense panel during the impeachment trial of former Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona, has jumped fences and now serves as one of the top officials of the camp that “persecuted” her former boss.

Jimeno, who gave the impeachment trial a “pretty face”, owing to her good looks and eloquence, has been appointed as media director of the Office of the Presidential Adviser for Rehabilitation and Recovery headed by former Senator Panfilo Lacson. The agency is under the Office of the President.
