Sandiganbayan taking its time in deciding Enrile case

The Sandiganbayan’s Third Division is taking its time in determining whether there is probable cause to issue arrest warrants in connection with the plunder and graft cases against Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile and his co-accused.

Under its guidelines, the court has 10 days to determine probable cause upon the filing of charges. If it rules out probable cause, it can either dismiss the case or order a reinvestigation. If it finds probable cause, arrest warrants will be immediately issued.
