Ex-judge’s raps dropped after 11-year wait

THE Sandiganbayan has dismissed the graft charge of a former judge in Albay province after it found that the case dragged for over a decade, with an earlier resolution actually asking to junk the complaint.

In a nine-page resolution promulgated Tuesday, the Sandigan-bayan First Division dropped the graft charge of Arnulfo Cabredo—and upheld the judge’s motion to quash, where he raised the inordinate delay of the case.
