Mupas order denying Arroyo's motion to recall arrest warrant raises questions of Mupas' appreciation of the facts in this case. While non-bailable, arrest warrant on electoral sabotage or any case for that matter may be cancelled if the evidence and probability of conviction is weak. Accused has protection against frivolous suits. The case against Arroyo stands solely on the hearsay testimony of a witness - unas??? - discredited by his own admission of involvement in the Maguindanao Massacre. Moe damaging, the testimony is directly disputed by Ampatuan himself, who is pivotal in una's testimony. Finally the judge is exposed as incompetent because of the attempted bribery issue by Abalos and the highly irregular - railroaded - issuance of the warrant itself.
