Their acquittal from rape and homicide charges turned out to be not the onset of freedom yet for brothers Maximo and Concordio Laputan, who had to remain in the provincial jail for yet another pending criminal case, as what provincial prosecutor Pepita Jane Petralba found yesterday.


When the Laputan brothers yesterday went to the Department of Justice to get their P10,000 award for damages that the Regional Trial Court granted to each of them due to unjust detention, it was found out that they had a pending case for direct assault.
