Based on report, the copy of the said highest court’s decision is currently making its round to all the justices for their signature before it can be brought to the sheriff of the Sandiganbayan.

From the Anti-graft court, the copy of the said decision will be brought to the Philippine National police, CGMA’s custodian, and will then be delivered to the VMMC.  Only then will Mrs. Arroyo can be allowed to go home after being under hospital arrest for five years.
