“Atty. Gigi Reyes, the former chief of staff and now co-accused of Senator Juan Ponce Enrile in the pork barrel scam cases, asked the Sandiganbayan to allow her to use a laptop with an Internet connection in her detention cell in Camp Bagong Diwa, Taguig City,” reports Jeffrey Damicog in Manila Bulletin.

Reyes’ lawyer, Atty. Anacleto Diaz, explained, “With her detention and medical condition, the accused is already handicapped in assisting her counsel prepare her defenses for trial. Allowing her to use a laptop computer with printer and internet connection while in detention will mitigate this handicap as it would allow accused Reyes to access and review the evidence for and against her, recollect, write, encode, and store her narration of vital facts and arrange her documentary exhibits in orderly fashion for their submission in Court.”

Diaz also added that if allowed Internet access, Reyes promises to only go online under the supervision of prison guards.

So, let’s see what the Sandiganbayan 3rd Division says about this latest request from Reyes.
