Petition To Bail

Akusado has filed a petition for bail, arguing that the evidence against him for the charge of frustrated murder is weak. He claims the witnesses have recanted their testimonies and were forced to sign affidavits against their will. No other physical evidence directly links him to the crime. As the prosecution has not sufficiently shown the evidence of guilt is strong, Akusado is entitled to bail under the law. He requests the court allow him to post bail pending trial. A hearing on the petition has been scheduled for August 27.

PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES,


                                      Plaintiff,
Crim Case No. 12345        
                - versus -                                                                     for

PETITION FOR BAIL

     
Accused, through the undersigned counsel, unto this
Honorable Court, respectfully states:

1. That accused is currently detained at the Makati City Jail for the charge of
Frustrated Murder and has been behind bars since his arrest on August 1,
2013;

2. That no bail has been recommended for his temporary release on the
assumption that the evidence of guilt is strong;

3. That the prosecution's evidence of guilt against accused, however, is weak


as there is no direct evidence that will point to the accused to
have committed the charges against him. The records will show that accused
was malicious implicated in the case through the sworn statements of SINU
NGALING and BULA AN who subsequently recanted their testimonies and
confessed, among others, that they were made to sign the "affidavits of
witnesses" against their will. (copies of the Affidavits of Recantation are
hereto attached as Annexes "A" and "B")
4. That there is no other physical or documentary evidence to show that
accused is guilty of the crime charged;.

5. That the burden of showing that evidence of guilt is strong is on the
prosecution, and since this fact is not satisfactorily shown, accused is
entitled to bail as a matter of right during the pendency of the criminal case.

      WHEREFORE, upon prior notice and hearing, it is respectfully prayed of


this HonorableCourt that accused AKU SADO be allowed to post bail for his
temporary liberty pending trial of the criminal charge against him.
  
       Other just and equitable reliefs are likewise prayed for.
          Respectfully submitted.

          15 August 2013
          City of Makati.
