Justice rejects revival of death penalty
ANILA (Updated, 4:28 p.m.) — One of the six incumbent justices vying for the position of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court said Wednesday death penalty is not a necessary deterrent to crime.
In response to a query by retired Justice Regino Hermosisima, Associate Justice Arturo Brion said while the penalty was constitutional, this should not be implemented again.
“As much as we want to annihilate all people who committed heinous crimes, I will go for the lesser penalty of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole,” he said.
Individuals who were found guilty of high crimes such as murder, kidnapping and rape are required to serve up to 40 years in jail after then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo signed in 2006 a law deleting death as capital punishment.
Brion told the Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) about his aspiration of a “dream court,” one that is founded on ethics.
He admitted that graft and corruption does not only happen in the judiciary, calling it a “societal problem.”
“We need cooperation from the Executive and Legislative to stop this. The public needs to be assured that there are no shenanigans within the judiciary,” he said.
If given the chance to lead the Court, Brion said he will propose the reorganization of divisions hearing and deciding “less important” cases.
At present, the decision penned by a member of a division composed of five justices is already considered the verdict of the 15-man tribunal.
For Brion, the composition was not only problematic but unfair since a division does not reflect the sentiment of the whole Court.
To address this issue, the magistrate proposed five divisions composed of three members, whose recommended decision on cases will be either junked or sustained by the Court.
“This is quite a radical proposal because I don’t think we ever reconstituted ourselves,” he said.
Brion was a former appellate court magistrate and labor secretary before he was named to the High Court in March 2008.
“We need a strong leadership so that the judiciary will be able to reach its destined path,” he said.
Former University of the Philippines law dean Raul Pangalanan, meanwhile, wanted to pursue pending reforms and address staff morale and benefits.
Talking about his edge over other nominees, Pangalanan said “the luxury of a professor is that he can have a broad view of things.” The former law dean was once involved in making changes to the format of Bar examinations.
The face of a Pangalanan court, he said, would be a court that spoke a clear voice and brought colleagues together in most important issues.
