[Title] => CA acquits 19 in Lenny Villa slay
[Summary] => Only two were found guilty of homicide.
The Court of Appeals (CA) convicted two and acquitted 19 of the 26 members of the Aquila Legis fraternity at the Ateneo Law School who were found guilty by a lower court of the fatal hazing of neophyte Lenny Villa during initiation rites in February 1991.
In a decision handed down yesterday, the appellate court also held four others liable for the lesser offense of slight physical injuries.
Another one — Efren de Leon — died in April 1996.

[Title] => Justices hesitant to act on Villa case?
[Summary] =>
The nine-year-old case of the fatal hazing of Ateneo law student Lenny Villa
has suffered seven years of delay at the Court of Appeals after six justices
reportedly inhibited themselves from taking part in deciding the fate of two
convicted members of the Aquila Legis fraternity.
A check at the appeals court showed that the case has been up for decision as
early as February 1997. The appeal was elevated by the convicted Aquilans in
1994.
