It’s difficult not to sympathize with Lauro Vizconde. I am a widower myself, although my wife succumbed to cancer. It’s not so much that I miss her, but what could have been had she lived longer. I feel there could have still been much to do and that I have not known her that well yet to lose her so suddenly. So much in my home reminds me of her.
Lauro Vizconde lost more and in the most tragic way. I am quite sure, in his home, he is reminded not only of one loss but three. He continues to live alone, albeit in the company of house help who keep to themselves.
It’s easy to continue to hate Hubert Webb when you see pictures of him flashing a wide grin being surrounded by his family. The Supreme Court may have freed him, but this doesn’t mean he’s innocent. He was freed because the prosecution did a piss-poor job. He will now merrily spend Christmas with his parents and four siblings.
Lauro Vizconde will most likely spend Christmas alone still seeking justice for the murder of his family.
Now, Hubert Webb along with his co-accused are asking payback from the woman whose testimony sent them to jail 15 years ago. They want to send her to jail for giving false testimony. Perhaps it would be better for them to spend their energy and money in helping to find the murderers of the Vizconde family.
Maybe they don’t want to do this. The trail might lead back to them.
