The former lawyer of Army Lt.
Lawrence San Juan has asked the Makati City court hearing the coup
d’etat case against 31 junior officers to reject San Juan’s
petition to plead guilty to the lesser charge of conspiracy.
Theodore Te, who represents Air
Force Capt. Segundino Orfiano and Lts. Francisco Ashley Acedillo and
Billy Pascua, told Makati Regional Trial Court Branch 148 Judge
Oscar Pimentel there is no basis to approve San Juan’s plea since
none of the other accused have been shown to have taken part in any
conspiracy in relation to the 2003 Oakwood mutiny.
