CEBU CITY - Any settlement money on the mauling of Cebu City taxi driver
Marcelo Batestil will go to the Church, his lawyer said yesterday.
Batestil forgave and withdrew the case he filed against US servicemen Michael
Keyes, John Lowery and Shanon Towers after they apologized to him in court the
other day, prompting Municipal Trial Court Judge Rosabella Tormis to dismiss
the case.
The three American sailors mauled Batestil after the taxi driver tried to
insist on collecting a P900 fare he said they owed.

[Title] => Court orders 3 US sailors to return to RP
[Summary] =>
A municipal trial court has ordered three US servicemen to return to the
country next week to be arraigned on charges of beating a taxi driver in Cebu
City.
This developed as the Cebu City prosecutor handling the case issued a subpoena
in connection with charges of slight physical injuries filed by taxi driver
Marcelo Batestil.
Prosecutor Primo Miro, however, dropped the malicious mischief charge against
them for lack of evidence. He set the arraignment of US Navy petty officers
Michael Keys, Johnny Earl Lowerly and Shannon Towers on March 30.
