TANAY, Rizal – A military court again failed to arraign 28 Army and Marine officers linked to the failed coup on Feb. 24 last year after defense lawyers insisted on being furnished with copies of the pre-trial investigation report.


Former solicitor general Francisco Chavez, counsel for former Marine Commandant Maj. Gen. Renato Miranda, told the court that defense lawyers must be given copies of the pre-trial report that found probable cause to charge the 28 military officers for violations of the Articles of War.

Citing military jurisprudence, the lawyer, speaking on condition of anonymity, said attempted mutiny carries a penalty two degrees lower than the actual mutiny charge.

Mutiny carries a death penalty if committed during wartime and life imprisonment during peacetime, he said.
