Gerarda Villa, mother of Lenny Villa who died in February 1991 due to severe beatings he got during initiation rites of the Ateneo Law School’s Aquila Legis fraternity, expressed disappointment over a Court of Appeals (CA) ruling handed down Friday exonerating 19 of 26 accused in the case.

"I am so disappointed. It hurts to see that after all these years, justice remains elusive for my son," Villa said yesterday in a telephone interview.

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.
