Baltazar kin to appeal 'unacceptable' court decision

The family of mistaken identity victim Jemboy Baltazar on Wednesday vowed to bring his case before the Court of Appeals to reverse the Navotas City regional trial court’s decision on the six former policemen linked to his killing, five of whom were convicted.

“Why only one will be imprisoned, but the five are free? We are very disappointed with the decision on my son’s case,” Rodaliza said.When asked if the family would present more evidence during the appeal, Rodaliza pointed out that the police conspired to supposedly cover up the crime and limit the access to evidence.

“It seems that they conspired to shield their fellow policemen. That has become the culture in our area. We are poor and we are also struggling to find justice for my son,” she lamented.
