The Supreme Court on Tuesday denied the motion for reconsideration filed by Lauro Vizconde seeking the reversal of the high tribunal's recent acquittal of the seven men previously convicted for the killing of three members of his family in 1991.
"In a vote of 7-4-4, the court denied the motion for reconsideration of Mr. Vizconde for lack of merit," said Supreme Court spokesman and administrator Jose Midas Marquez at a news conference.
Last Dec. 14, the SC acquitted Hubert Webb, son of former Sen. Freddie Webb, and Antonio Lejano, Michael Gatchalian, Miguel Rodriguez, Hospicio Fernandez, Peter Estrada, and former policeman Gerardo Biong for the killing of Vizconde's wife Estrellita, and daughters Carmela and Jennifer.
Vizconde later appealed the ruling, saying the court committed a "grave error" in handing down the acquittal.
