Supreme Court issues warrants for missing defendants
In the Supreme Court, Justice Adolph Lucas today issued warrants for five defendants. The five persons whom Lucas is seeking to arrest are Manolo Romero accused of arson, Leonardo Zacaria for attempted murder; Gerson Barrera, charged with carnal knowledge; Norman Cal for aggravated burglary, and Sergio Casteneda accused of manslaughter by negligence. According to court reports, the reason for the issuance of the warrants is that the group failed to appear in court for the start of their trial. In Romero’s case, it is believed that he has absconded and his two thousand, five hundred dollar bail was forfeited in December. Justice Lucas also ordered that the sureties for the wanted man are to appear at the opening of the Supreme Court’s quarterly session on April seventh.
