MANILA: The Supreme Court has overturned the conviction of Imelda Marcos, former first lady and mother of the sitting president, in seven out of her 10 graft cases after it found that the testimonies and documentary evidence by the prosecution were “inadmissible and lacked probative weight”.
In a 50-page decision by the First Division on June 10 but made public only on Tuesday, the high tribunal acquitted Marcos, 97, for the prosecution’s “failure to prove her guilt beyond reasonable doubt” in violating Section 3(h) of Republic Act No. 3019, or the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.

马尼拉：最高法院推翻了前第一夫人、现任总统之母伊梅尔达·马科斯在10起贪污案件中的7起定罪，理由是检方的证词和书面证据“不可采纳，缺乏证明力”。
最高法院第一庭于 6 月 10 日作出长达 50 页的裁决，但直到周二才公开。裁决中，97 岁的马科斯因检方“未能排除合理怀疑地证明其违反了《共和国第 3019 号法令》（即《反贪污腐败法》）第 3(h) 条而被判无罪。
