                    [Title] => Sandigan allows Erap to take witness stand on March 22
                    [Summary] => Ousted President Joseph Estrada will take the witness stand on March 22 in his plunder and perjury trial after the Sandiganbayan special division denied his petition to be allowed to testify on March 29.


Estrada has asked the Sandiganbayan that his court appearance be scheduled for March 29 instead of tomorrow.

Justice Diosdado Peralta, a special division member, ruled in open court that Estrada’s request to postpone his testimony until March 29 was "too long."

"The principal accused’s eye operation caused the loss of a week of preparation so that our team feels we cannot in all probability be ready on March 15, 2006 for a day-long trial, for reasons beyond our control," Saguisag said in a two-page manifestation.
