Cudia Petition Vs PMA Gets Strong Boost His mother Filipina filed a petition-in-intervention. Her petition prepared by the PAO through the help of Atty. Persida Rueda Acosta packs more power of evidence that the vote was 8-1, which means acquittal, and that there is nothing in the rules of the Honor System that allows chambering or remediation. Chambering, akin to the famous ALLEN CHARGE, is defined as an instruction given by the presiding judge to the jury whose purpose is to compel the jurors to come up with a unanimous decision, for or against the accused, and the instruction has a further instruction that if the jurors cannot be united until such given time, they have to go back to the judge and receive further instruction. ALLEN CHARGE has been declared as unconstitutional in several states of the USA. It is because it is pervasive against fairness and independence of the jurors. In the case of the Honor Committee of the PMA, Allen Charge cannot even be applied because only one kind of vote is required to be unanimous and that vote is for guilty. In the present Honor Committee system, only one vote of dissent acquits the cadet being charged with lying or cheating or stealing or tolerating those who did. What makes the Honor System vulnerable is the fact that THERE WAS NO GUIDANCE COUNSELOR [who could be a JAGO lawyer] to guide the proceedings and to ensure the proceedings to follow strictly the procedure. abs-cbnnews/video/nation/03/25/14/fight-continues-dismissed-pma-cadet-cudia
