Lauro Vizconde has filed a motion for reconsideration with the Supreme Court. With the rule of double jeopardy greatly hampering his chances of a reversal of the Supreme Court's decision, Mr. Vizconde will surely be denied of the justice that he seeks. While the motion for reconsideration is a valid act, lawyers are one in saying that it will surely be dumped and will not prosper.
With the way things stand, what then are the options left for Mr. Vizconde as he seeks justice for his family ? It seems that Mr. Vizconde does not have much legal options. Perhaps, people can now come together to stand behind Mr. Vizconde in his fight. After all, Mr. Vizconde's case is not merely about a family being massacred. It has evolved into a statement of the state of justice in the Philippines. It has become a fight for every Filipino who wishes to see justice being served to everyone, whether rich or poor, high and mighty or commoner.
