                    [Title] => Rapist has ‘50-50 chance’ of being spared from execution
                    [Summary] => The rape convict scheduled to undergo lethal injection on Oct. 16 has a very slim chance of being spared, Justice Secretary Hernando Perez said yesterday.


"It’s 50-50," Perez told reporters when asked what chances convict Alfredo Nardo has that his execution would not push through. 


He, however, said President Arroyo may still go "soft" on convicted rapists since her only hardline policy is against sparing convicted kidnappers — who continuously prey on Chinese-Filipino families — from the death chamber.

"It’s time to send the champions of darkness to the lethal injection chamber," the President said, brushing aside criticism from the Roman Catholic Church which opposes capital punishment.


Mrs. Arroyo said she has examined her conscience and remaines "a very good Catholic" but criminals have been emboldened by her "suspending" the execution of some 1,815 convicts on death row.
