Today,Hubert Webb is on headlines again. He is of course,implicated once more on the Vizconde massacre. His name is even trending on Twitter now. This news,pardon me,infuriates me. Won't the public leave him alone?
A tiny history- from the day Hubert's photo was shown on papers and boob tube,I had this hunch he's innocent of the crime. Yes I admit,it is due to his boyish appearance. It was LIKE at first sight for me.I made that public,did not care of the varied reactions. Besides,my brothers were" supportive" of my insanity on him. I kept myself constantly aware of the investigations conducted, the numerous interviews/guestings of both sides,the trial covered on tV,the arraignment-verdict-and acquittal by the Supreme Court(SC) a few months ago.
It pained my heart each time I see Hubert and his family devastated over the greatest trial of their lifetime. It just as the same swelled my spirit with gladness upon seeing them hugging one another when he was out of Bilibid.
I gave all the witnesses the due benefit of the doubt. I never eradicated the possibility that maybe,he perpetuated the heinous crime in the 90s. However, SC gave its final decision that Hubert Jeffrey P. Webb did not commit the rape and murder. He was out of the country during the time it occurred.
It puzzles me now,why again this headline today? If there are really new witnesses,why did they wait for the SC statement. Why didn't they surface years ago? Whyyy?
I may sound sentimental about the issue.Yes I am. I am one in wishing for justice to the Vizcondes.Let me clear that. It is nonetheless pathetic to always point at a guy as the culprit when documents and papers and sworn statements from dignified people prove he was nowhere Philippines on that sad day for the Vizconde girls.
Couldn't the public spare him a little peace? As best stated by my Koyang Mark the day I texted him Hubert was a free man,"Guilty or not,his incarceration of 15 years was no joke."
