Array ( [results] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [ArticleID] => 140954 [Title] => Ailing Estrada again excused from trial [Summary] => Jailed former President Joseph Estrada won yesterday a fresh two-day leave from his corruption trial at the Sandiganbayan after his lawyer told the anti-graft court that the former movie actor was ill.
The courts third division, headed by Justice Anacleto Badoy, granted Estradas request but required the defense panel to submit a medical certificate.
The trial resumed after Estrada left the courtroom with his son, San Juan Mayor JV Ejercito, and was escorted back by the police to the Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC) in Quezon City where he has been detained.
He did not answer reporters questions outside the courtroom but pointed to his right eye before taking the elevator, apparently referring to an eye infection that had also caused him to miss two hearing dates last week.
This was the first hearing of the charges of plunder against Estrada since the Supreme Court, voting 10-4 with one abstention last Monday, affirmed the constitutionality of the plunder law. Estradas lawyers are set to file a motion for reconsideration.
