Though the country’s justice system is not perfect, the recent conviction of four police officers over killings during a drug operation in 2016 shows that it is functioning, Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra said Wednesday.“This development proves what I have been saying all along; i.e., that our legal system, while admittedly not perfect, is functioning as it should,” Guevarra said in a message to reporters.
Guevarra issued the remark when sought for comment on a Caloocan court finding four police officers guilty of homicide and sentencing them to up to 10 years of imprisonment for the killing of Luis Bonifacio and his son, Gabriel Lois in September 2016.Despite this, the family of the victims consider the conviction as “a partial victory” because they filed murder charges.
