It’s final: Lacson acquitted in Dacer-Corbito slay case — SC

By Benjamin B. Pulta 11/26/2011

The Supreme Court (SC) has turned down with finality a plea by the daughters of slain publicist Salvador “Bubby” Dacer seeking to reinstate Sen. Panfilo Lacson in the twin murder cases of Dacer and his driver Emmanuel Corbito in November 2000 and uphold a Court of Appeals (CA) ruling that former police Senior Supt.

anyway, itong kasong itong ay isang pruweba o pang.suportang pruweba na HINDI talaga anti.a_noy ang korte suprema. hindi ba't kaaway daw ni arrobo si lacson? at sinabi raw nitong si lacson na 'ang kaawawa lang kay gloria ay iyung walang naaawa sa kany' or something to that effect? ang osg ang may kasalanan--eh bakit kinatigan ng SC si lacson?

“Suddenly the OSG turned its back on its earlier vigorous defense of the trial court’s finding of probable cause against Respondent and deliberately failed to appeal the Court of Appeals’ decision on the flimsy excuse that it was ‘afraid that [the appeal] will suffer the same fate as what happened in the Court of Appeals,’” the Dacers said."
