Ayon kay AFP spokesman Col. Edgard`Arevalo, muling sasailalim si Trillanes sa court martial dahil naibalik ang huli sa pagiging sundalo sa pamamagitan ng pagkansela ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa amnestiyang ibinigay dito noong 2010.
“It (court martial) could be continued, remember it was just stopped because of the supervening event that is the amnesty which was given to him (Trillanes)… that’s why nahinto ang ginagawang proceeding. Now, na-revoke ‘yung amnesty ab initio, meaning from the beginning, so he will be reverted to his status as active military personnel,” sabi ni Arevalo sa isang pulong-balitaan.
“The fact that he was reverted to military custody and he regains his military personality then kung ano ang magiging ruling ng court martial that would apply to him,” aniya pa.
Ayon kay Arevalo, nag-retiro na ang ilan sa mga miyembro ng general court martial na duminig sa kaso ni Trillanes, kaya bubuo ng panibagong lupon ng military officials na magpapatuloy sa pagdinig.
“The acting AFP chief of staff… has already instructed the convening of a general court martial that shall be hearing the case of Lt. Trillanes,” aniya.
