Philippine VP Sara Duterte charged with grave threats over alleged assassination plot

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The charge was filed in a Quezon City courtroom, with the Department of Justice asserting the case can proceed concurrently with an ongoing Senate impeachment trial. Duterte's legal team argued that an impeachable officer cannot be prosecuted for an offense that is also part of an impeachment case, but a law professor stated that the cases could proceed independently.
