Who is Jocelyn Solis-Reyes?
Jocelyn Solis-Reyes is a judge from the Philippines. She is, as of June 2010, the presiding judge in the Maguindanao massacre trial. She is attached to Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 221.
Solis-Reyes is an alumna of the University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Civil Law. She served from 1992 to 1995 as a public attorney and was from 1995 to 2000 a public prosecutor. In May 2001 she took up a post as Presiding Judge of the Municipal Trial Court in Angeles and Olongapo, Pampanga, progressing to her appointment in 2004 as a Quezon City regional trial court judge. Among her early prominent cases was the 2007 prosecution of Chief Public Attorney Persida Rueda-Acosta by an attorney alleging illegal termination of her employment. Solis-Reyes ultimately recused from the case.
Solis-Reyes was assigned to the Maguindanao massacre case by lottery draw in December 2009, after the previously selected judge, Luisito Cortez, had declined the case on security grounds. Solis-Reyes initially refused security when assigned to the Ampatuan case, but was later assigned Philippine National Police protection under a compulsory provision.
