Media challenge publication ban on Lapu Lapu attack suspect’s fitness hearing
- A media consortium has challenged a publication ban on evidence related to the hearing for the suspect in the Lapu Lapu Day festival attack, which resulted in 11 deaths.
- Lawyer Daniel Coles argued that lifting the ban serves the public interest and helps provide coverage for those unable to attend court.
- Prosecutors and the suspect's defense lawyer, Mark Swartz, oppose changing the ban, claiming it protects the suspect's right to a fair trial and prevents jury bias.
- The suspect, identified as Lo, attended the hearing by video and is scheduled to return to court on Friday to continue the fitness hearing.
