Umapela si Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson na muling talakayin ang Philippine Juvenile Justice Law matapos ang shooting incident sa loob ng San Jose National High School sa Tacloban City noong Lunes ng umaga, Hunyo 22.
Matatandaang parehong menor de edad ang dalawang suspek sa pamamaril sa nasabing paaralan.
Kaya sa latest X post ni Lacson nitong Miyerkules, Hunyo 24, inilatag niya ang karumal-dumal na insidente sa England noong 1993 para pangatwiranan ang binabalak niyang hakbang.
“Our Juvenile Justice Law may really need revisiting and further discussion,” saad ni Lacson. “The February 12, 1993 Liverpool, England case of 2-year-old James Patrick Bulger who was abducted and murdered by two 10-year-old boys may convince us to reconsider age as an automatic exemption from criminal liability.”
Dagdag pa niya, “Discernment to be proven beyond reasonable doubt by state prosecutors as per the latest SC ruling should be safeguard enough to serve justice to all concerned.”
Rep. Luistro, '10/10' sa performance ng prosecution sa impeachment trial!
Samantala, kinumpirma naman ng Palasyo na bukas umano si Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. na ibaba ang edad para sa criminal responsibility, gayundin ang Philippine National Police (PNP).
