GTALAW obtained an Order of dismissal
for its
American client - a former US Navy Serviceman who
was accused for the
offense of violation of RA 7610
(Child Abuse Law) and a crime for Acts of Lasciviousness at the Regional Trial Court of Olongapo
City
11.15.2005
Olongapo City - Judge Renato Dilag of
Regional Trial Court Branch 73, Olongapo City ordered the dismissal
in open Court of criminal cases for violation of RA 7610 (Child
Abuse Law) and Acts of Lasciviousness against Mr. Jack W. Doyle,
American citizen and a retired serviceman of the U.S.Navy.
The case was filed in 2001 by his wife
Hilda Doyle for and in behalf of her minor daughter of another man.
Jack Doyle vehemently denied the charges and viewed it as
retaliatory suits because of the previous annulment case which he
filed against his wife.
GTALAW took over the case in 2005 from
previous defense lawyers of Mr. Doyle who are based in Olongapo
City.
Alexander Llanes Acain, Jr., Managing Partner of GTALAW, who
acted as the defense counsel for Mr. Doyle immediately moved for the
dismissal of the case on the ground of gross violation of the
constitutional right of the accused to speedy trial. It was learned
that based on court records, the case has been postponed 32 times
and worst, the prosecution has not presented any evidence or offered
the testimonies of their witnesses since the case was filed in
Court.
