The decision of the officials, appointed by the Aquino administration, concluded the case of <a href="http://diversityhuman.com/index.php?tag/lane-michael-white" hreflang="en" title="lane-michael-white">Lane Michael White</a>.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The decision of DOJ was quite alarming to the extent that the chief officer of the Public Attorney's Office was disappointed to the judicial system of the country. To the dismay of Atty. Persida Acosta, she aired her sentiments in an interview conducted by a field reporter of ABS-CBN news. The lawyer explained the unfair decision of the court citing that the agency is quick in blaming plane passengers when these people were caught with bullets in their luggage. Hence, the court appears too bias to the victims.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Why was the case absolved by DOJ?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Contents of the decision and the reason why the complaint was junked by DOJ had been revealed in a local report. The court purportedly did not find any probable cause and involvement of the Office of Transportation Security(OTS) personnel regarding the alleged <a href="http://diversityhuman.com/index.php?tag/tanim-bala-victim" hreflang="en" title="tanim-bala-victim">"Tanim-Bala" modus</a> last September 17, 2015. Moreover, DOJ said that there was no valid evidence that would prove the alleged extortion.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">In short, DOJ concluded that the documents submitted by the complainants didn't have any substantial information to prove that the OTS officers are guilty of the crime.</h3>
