PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES,
Plaintiff,
Criminal Case No. 00567
- versus - For: Murder
BRUNO MARS,
Accused.
x ------------------------------------------ x
MOTION TO REDUCE BAIL
Accused, through counsel, by way of a special appearance solely for this
purpose, respectfully alleges:
1.That the accused has been charged with Murder and that the bail for his
provisional release has been set at P500,000;
2. That the accused is a poor fellow of very limited means such that it is
impossible for him to pay the full amount of his bond and is therefore
constrained to request for a reduction of the amount of bail;
3. That it would be advantageous to everyone if he be given temporary
liberty thereby allowing him to continue with his gainful employment and as
head of the family with two dependents;
4. As such, accused appeals to the mercy and compassion of this Honorable
Court and respectfully requests that his bail be reduced to P100,000
5. That this motion for reduction of bail is being filed without prejudice to
any other remedy which may be available to the accused and that the
accused expressly reserves the right to question the legality of the issuance
of the search warrant or his warrantless arrest if the circumstances would so
warrant.
WHEREFORE, accused respectfully prays that his bail be reduced to
P100,000.
Other relief just and equitable are likewise prayed for.
