Accused
x------------------------------------------x

PETITION FOR BAIL WITH MOTION TO REDUCED BAIL

A ccused,RETRO, through counsel, respectfully states

that:
By way of prefatory:
“The Court is not unaware that in
some instances law enforcers resort
to the practice of planting evidence to
extract information or even harass
civilians- the Court must then be extra
vigilant in trying drugs cases lest an
innocent person is made to suffer the
unusually severe penalty for drugs
offenses”

1. Accused is currently detained at Iba Provincial Jail for

allegedly violating Sec. 5 and 11 of Republic Act No.
 9165 and has been behind bars since 15 February
2019.

2. Prior to his detention, Accused was a farmer by

profession who earns a meagre amount of money, not
even enough to sustain his family.

3. That no bail was recommended for his temporary

liberty pending trial for the reason that Section 5 of R.A.
9165 was allegedly violated.

4. The prosecution has the burden of proving that the

evidence of guilt is strong and unless this fact is
satisfactorily shown, the defendant is entitled to bail as
a matter of right.

5. To give premium to the constitutional presumption of

innocence until his guilt is proven beyond reasonable
doubt, it is prayed that his temporary liberty be granted
by the Court.
