-

After seven years of trial, a Talisay City resident has been sentenced to a four-year imprisonment for possessing shabu.

Carlito Villaver was arrested with 0.09 grams of shabu on January 21, 1998 in his house in barangay Cansojong. In his defense, Villaver denied the police allegation that they recovered the illegal drug from him.

But not convinced by his testimony, Judge Soliver Peras, in his 15-page decision, said the prosecution has "satisfactorily established by competent evidence the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt." - Liv G. Campo
