2 drug peddlers draw life in jail
BAGUIO CITY
-- Two drug personalities were sentenced to suffer life term in jail
after being convicted by a local court for selling 4.7 kilograms of marijuana
to a Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) undercover agent in 2013.
PDEA-Cordillera Director Juvenal Azurin identified the convicts as
Melchor Martin Lagadeo and Kenneth SagasaLagadeo, who were found guilty of drug
peddling by the court last January 18.
The duo were arrested in a buy-bust operation on July 9, 2013 at Lourdes
Grotto, here, and then charged with violating Section 5 (sale of illegal
drugs), Article II of Republic Act No. 9165, the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs
Act of 2002.
In its decision, the court did not give credence to their defense of
denial and frame-up.
“These defenses, like alibi, have been viewed with disfavor by our
courts for being easily concocted and are used as a common defense ploy in most
prosecutions for violation of the Dangerous Drugs Act due perhaps to the rotten
reputation of narcotics agents. But for such defense to prosper, the evidence
must be clear and convincing,” the court ruled.
Apart from their jail term, the court ordered the two to pay a fine of
P1 million.
