Estrada's son seeks new judge

PHILIPPINES: A son of deposed Philippines president Joseph
Estrada on Sunday demanded a new trial for his father, accusing
the judge of bias.

Joseph Victor Ejercito urged Sandiganbayan anti-graft court
judge Anacleto Badoy to remove himself from the case "if he has
some sense of decency."

Ejercito claimed that "for him (Badoy), my father is already
convicted.

"He has already promised some groups of the so-called civil
society to find my father guilty of the charges against him."

Estrada has been detained at a military hospital in suburban
Manila since May, four months after a military-backed popular
revolt chased him out of the presidential palace. --AFP
