acquitted under what grounds? i do not remember any convincing evidence presented by the accused.

[Freeza]

just like jason webb's case, the court does not admit plane tickets, dated pictures or even stamped passports as evidence.Â* for reasons, i don't know.Â* if i am not mistaken, the webb's even had the FBI certify that Jason Webb was in the U.S. at the time of the crime but it was not accepted either.Â* i don't know the legalities to this.
alibi is such a weak defense of them allÂ* you have toÂ* prove its bodily impossible .....thats why if thats your main defense your in disadvantage position

that is true but sometimes that is your only defense.Â* that's why there is C.S.I.
C.S.I not in 25 years if were lucky heheheehe when do you think were gonna have forensic team like that..

that it true, but if the case was not "orchestrated" the defense cannot also prove beyond reasonable doubt.Â* thus the reason for acquittal under a jury system.

in a nutshell, that is what makes rape cases unique.Â* sometimes, even just a testimony of the victim corroborated by circumstantial evidences and facts which can be easily staged can already render an accused a guilty verdict especially when highlighted by media only at a single angle. and on the side of the accused his defense of course would only be an alibi.

^^

that is true...

but like i said, the turn-out of events had the accused disadvantaged. plus, they had no convincing evidences that could get them out of the hole.

legalities....

[tolstoi]

i guess the late judge OCAMPO favored the testimony of RUSSIA who was the 'material eye witness' of the case instead of the varied documents presented by the defense.

here's a refresher..

------------------------------------------------------------------------
They said the judge favored the testimony of the state witness, Davidson Rusia, who admitted raping Jacqueline. Rusia is a former felon in the United States who went to prison twice.

Rusia said he was with Paco on the evening of July 16. In media interviews, Mrs. Thelma Chiong, mother of Marijoy and Jacqueline, said Paco and Josman Aznar visited their house several times in 1991. She said Paco courted Marijoy.

The reason why Judge Ocampo did not sentence the accuseds to death because he was PERSONALLY torn between his conscience and the weight of the testimonies and evidences presented.Â*WHY?Â* Because in Rusia's testimony he did not see the actual rape and the pushing into the ravine of MariJoy which his very difficult to believe if he was indeed with them.Â* Moreover, he said that during the morning of the rape he was just dropped off if I'm not mistaken, in the vicinity of Ayala or Gorordo which is also quite difficult to believe.

WHY?Â* Just imagine a bachelor's party and a killing spree.Â* You always do it side by side plus Rusia was even more hardcore than Josman and Paco combined basing on his criminal records.Â* Somebody very influential took very good care of this guy.Â*

Why did he not see the actual rape and pushing of MariJoy?Â* Probably because it was very hard to account plus Jacqueline pa?Â* King nanglugos ug nipatay mo, imposible kaayo nga wala ka makakita sa actual.

The decision of Ocampo should have been DEATH or ACQUITTAL, nothing in between. If you are going to ask me Judge Ocampo could HAVE NEVER rendered a NOT GUILTY decision during that time AT ALL COST or IT WILL COST HIM HIS LIFE and eventually it STILL did.

Moreover, a lot of agenices within the authorities, not only the accuseds, WAS NOT SATISFIED in the autopsy and identification of MariJoy.Â* Surambao kaayo!

^^but lyt..why did the Supreme Court even nudge the trial courts decision from life to death sentence if indeed there was a lapse of judgment on the part of Ocampo..there must be a considerable cause as to the SC's reaffirmation of the case.

OT : naay connection ba si LACSON or si ERAP ani na issue ?? Involved man gud KURATONG BALELENG indirectly na pod sa issue from a reliable source .

1] one of the angles from common circles said that one influential not necessarily rich family was victimized by this barkada one time or so and they have police blotters left and right. so they are easy prey.

For that kid who was victimized by these barkadas, it would be too risky, not to mention costly, for him to frame up such personalities.
Hunting the Laranaga's/Osmena's is like hunting for a lion in a jungle for dinner, why not hunt for a deer instead? I dont agree with your statement they were'nt easy prey.

2] Yeah, Rusia identified Paco! Say again? Rusia?

Yup, Who else?

3] Of course, but the bad part of trial by publicity is that the media always covers the negative side and the public tends to empathize and in some cases even influence a court decision. why do you think the IBP will move heaven and earth just so the media cannot expose judges who dismisses big drug cases?

One of his so-called witnesses was a Garcia diba? (correct me if Im wrong) I think they owned CDN right?

4] Nope, the judge was murdered to eventually silence him. The late Judge Ocampo was a hermit and was quite eccentric. But going to a hotel with 2 hookers simply did not add up. Going to an Estrada-owned hotel at a room that was so secluded even from the lens of the in-house surveillance camera. hanged himself with all his wrists and ankles about to fall off. then came the 2 LapuLapu policemen very corrupt, crooked and with pending admin cases came over and tampered all the evidence in the room before other police angencies arrived and was merely suspended for it.

Judges has sexual urges too just like everyone else, and FYI he has no wife living with him to accomodate it. It's hard to believe for someone to murder a judge who has done big favor from the person. In the first place, If he would squeal, it would be tantamount or worst than committing suicide. That is why I would be more inclined to believe that the chiong 5's has their hands on it, if it was proven that he was murdered. V for Vendetta ba...

5] It was not the supreme court who believe that they were tampered evidences but it was the lower courts who accepted the tampered evidences. moreover, thelma chiong refused to cooperate in the autopsy of her daughter by other investigating bodies for reasons I don't know why. Probably, she ONLY knows.

An appeal was made to further investigate it, whether the lower court errouneously charged the suspects, all the cards had been layed down and evaluated, either the Chiong's or Laranaga's, and according to the objective decision of the SC, they deserve to die.

6] He had sleepless nights because he was threatened, if not tortured.

maybe...and maybe not.

7] This is not a conspiracy theory. This was about drugs and the involvement of the chiongs. and this theory was backed up by Cong. Cuenco.

Cong. Cuenco could be wrong, and it remains a theory.

8] It is immaterial if the Osmena's have private planes. The fact is that those witnesses were with him on the night of the murder. So are you trying to insinuate that Paco flew over via chartered plane just to rape the Chiongs?

He may not have planned to rape someone that night, but the course of the situation leads to it, guided by some drugs.

because that should have been the lower court's decision in the first place or acquittal but with the way it was handled in the lower courts, an acquittal is bleak in the higher courts.
