The Quezon City Metropolitan Trial Court Branch 133 has acquitted a drug war survivor who was alleged by police personnel of assaulting them. READ:
In explaining the decision, the Quezon City court said the cops did not prove to have conducted the “Oplan TokHang” on the day of the incident in compliance with the rules of the national police. The prosecution also failed to prove that the TokHang survivor “resisted and attacked” the police personnel because none of the witnesses saw him firing his gun.
“Mr. Morillo and his legal team welcome the Quezon City trial court decision. It is a beacon of light for those whose hopes have been dimmed and distorted by the pro forma, lawless, and soulless ‘‘ narrative. This decision is proof that truth will prevail and lives on,” the CenterLaw said in a statement.On August 21, 2016, Morillo and four others were shot by cops during an Oplan TokHang operation in Payatas, Quezon City.
