PRE-TRIAL BRIEF FOR THE ACCUSED
Comes Now, the accused Jericho Rosales, by counsel and unto this Honorable
Court, respectfully submits its pre-trial brief alleging among others:

I. Brief Statement of the Case

The herein plaintiff, Maja Salvador, filed a criminal complaint for Bigamy
against the accused, Jericho Rosales, alleging that the accused has been legally
married to Angel Locsin on August 27, 1998 in a civil wedding ceremony solemnized
by Hon. Alfredo Lim, then City Mayor of Manila. Plaintiff further claimed that the
accused contracted a subsequent marriage with her on May 1, 2013 in Paco
Church, Manila without the first marriage being legally dissolved.

As alleged and argued in the Counter-Affidavit of the accused dated May 5,
2014, accused Jericho Rosales interposed the following defenses:

1. That no marriage ceremony at all was performed by a duly authorized
solemnizing officer. Jericho Rosales and Angel Locsin merely signed a
marriage contract on their own on August 27, 1998;
2. That the judicial proceedings be suspended on the ground that the civil case
for judicial nullification of his marriage with Angel Locsin posed a prejudicial
question in the bigamy case;

The issue here to be resolved is whether or not the accused committed the
crime of bigamy.
