Your issue August 9, 2006 carried the interview of the prosecutor in the case of SPO1 Marcial Ocampo, who has been accused of shooting to death Elpedio "Jojo" dela Victoria, citing "discrepancies in the testimonies of the policeman and other defense witnesses".


Though the local media never came out with a report favorable to said policeman, we are constrained to write in the hope that good conscience, which inheres in every man might somehow influence the publication hereof to balance the views of the defense against that of the prosecution.
