Angeles City – Arnel De Luna was released from the Angeles City Jail yesterday. In his final trial, the presiding judge Hon. Omar D. Viola made the decision that he is innocent. For this reason, a five-year trial was ended.

 

In the decision of the court, “Foremost and overriding such rules in the principle that innocence, not quilt, is the presumption. Courts do not exist to declare the guilty and, thus convict, every and all persons brought and charged before them. For this reason, and circumstances indicating possible innocence on the part of the accused is to be carefully weighed and considered.”

 

He kept asserting that he was innocent. According to him, he was falsely accused. The informer, Chito, had grudge with him so Chito was the one who manipulated his crime with three policemen. Luan tired to escape when he was being arrested, but the policeman named Erickson Mendoza tried to shoot him using his gun.

 

Luna was accused October 8, 2002, with violations of Secs. 5, 11, Art. Ⅱof R.A. 9165.

According to the police, Luna was selling or delivering to a buyer, one plastic sachet containing more or less TWO TENTHS of a gram of shabu which is a dangerous drug, without any authority whatsoever.
