Sereno concerned ‘sufficient grounds’ for impeachment not enough--lawyers

CHIEF Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno is concerned that the justice committee of the House of Representatives found “sufficient grounds” to impeach her without deliberating on the merits of the27 allegations against her, her counsels said in a statement sent to the House on Thursday night.

“It concerns us that the Committee arrived at this decision without deliberating upon the merits of each allegation. We did not see this in the hearing earlier, as the Committee elected to consider the complaint in its totality,” they said of the impeachment complaint of lawyer Larry Gadon.
