Ombudsman ‘error’ may favor Napoles – lawyer

An “error” committed by the Office of the Ombudsman in filing an “inappropriate” case of plunder against Janet Lim-Napoles may favor the alleged pork barrel mastermind because it may bolster her claim that she is not the “most guilty” and is, therefore, qualified for state protection as witness.

According to a lawyer involved in the pork barrel scam case, Napoles’ camp will likely feast on the failed bid by the Ombudsman’s Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to amend the complaint for plunder, which technically takes away the center of gravity from Napoles.
