AQUILA Legis neophyte Lenny Villa’s tragic death occurred on Feb. 10, 1991, in a frat hazing session. The case was decided with finality in 2015, after more than 24 years.

On appeal from a regional trial court decision, I represented neophyte Zosimo Mendoza, acquitted with a score of others. The others were convicted. The acquittal ruling was appealed in a rare and unusual case and the case reached the Supreme Court — a case of quintuple jeopardy.
