    The DOJ found probable cause for only 31 of the 321 originally accused in a criminal case, leading the prosecution to file an amended information. The RTC then admitted the amended information and dropped coup d'etat charges against 290 accused. Later, a pre-trial investigation panel recommended not charging those facing coup d'etat charges in civilian court with additional violations in a military court, based on the "doctrine of absorption."

    Meanwhile, on November 11, 2003, the DOJ, after conducting a reinvestigation, found probable

    cause against only 31 (petitioners included) of the 321 accused in Criminal Case No. 03-2784.
    Accordingly, the prosecution filed with the RTC an Amended Information. 6
    In an Order dated November 14, 2003, the RTC admitted the Amended Information and dropped
    the charge of coup d'etat against the 290 accused.
    Subsequently, or on December 12, 2003, the Pre-Trial Investigation Panel submitted its Final
    Pre-Trial Investigation Report 7 to the JAGO, recommending that, following the "doctrine of
    absorption," those charged with coup d'etat before the RTC should not be charged before the
    military tribunal for violation of the Articles of War.
    For its part, the RTC, on February 11, 2004, issued an Order 8 stating that "all charges before
    the court martial against the accused . . . are hereby declared not service-connected, but
    rather absorbed and in furtherance of the alleged crime of coup d'etat." The trial court then
    proceeded to hear petitioners' applications for bail.
