(SPOT.ph) President Rodrigo Duterte on September 7 granted an "absolute pardon" to U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Joseph Scott Pemberton, who was found guilty of homicide in the death of Jennifer Laude on October 11, 2014. He and a few other Marines were on leave after the exercises and met Laude and her friends at a bar in Olongapo, a city known for its nightlife outside Subic Bay, a former U.S. Navy base. The film, directed by PJ Raval, explored the brutal murder of Jennifer Laude, a transgender Filipina woman killed by U.S. Marine Joseph Scott Pemberton. "He wishes he had the words to express the depth of his sorrow and regret," according to Pemberton's message, which was issued by his lawyer, Rowena Garcia-Flores. Last week, the Regional Trial Court in Olongapo city, which handled Pemberton's case, ordered authorities to release him early from detention for good conduct, but Laude's family appealed the order, blocking the Marine's early release. Pollock said his organization plans to honor Laude in particular at a vigil its planning for Transgender Day of Rememberance on Nov. 20. The Laude family questions how his GCTA was computed, given that he was isolated in a special military facility in Camp Aguinaldo.
