Special Sandiganbayan divisions? Victor’s justice?

In a 2002 en banc resolution of the Supreme Court (SC) in In - Re: Request [of accused Joseph Estrada - Creation of a Special Division to Try the Plunder Case (SB Crim. Case No. 26558 and related cases] - the bracketed material was from the reso of January 21, 2002 in Adm. Matter No. 02-1-07-SC, which was a lie (not to be the last). Erap had not asked for a Special Division.

I then wrote a 2002 defense Constancia, after the style of what Senator Lorenzo Tañada, et al., filed in Javellana v. Executive Secretary, the Ratification Cases, decided on March 31, 1973, with the SC not blocking martial law. Tanny counseled going on record as a deposition for history. We said in our own Constancia for Erap, in relation to the minute Resolution of January 29, 2002, a copy of which we received on March 20, 2002, as correctly reported in an SC publication “In issuing the Administrative Matter No. 002-1-07-SC, the Court acted favorably on the request of the Sandiganbayan to create the Special division to hear, try and decide with dispatch the plunder case and all related cases against former President Estrada and those accused with him.
