Lawyers of Former President Duterte Call on Marcos Jr. to Let the Former President Return Home!
Lawyer Kaufman of Former President Duterte stated that, given the deteriorating health condition of former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, his team hopes that the Marcos Jr. government will allow him to return to the Philippines to face trial.
"Although the former president appears to be in good spirits, his age and detention conditions have already affected him. The defense sincerely hopes that the Philippine government, which has outsourced its legal obligations to the International Court, will allow the former president to receive a fair trial in his country of birth, and now enable him to return home with dignity to face any necessary judicial procedures, if possible."
Kaufman said that the defense has been struggling to deal with the former president's medication situation, which has affected his ability to absorb evidence and give his lawyers appropriate instructions.
