RETIRED police officer Jovie Espenido on Tuesday retracted his Senate testimony against former justice secretary and former senator Leila de Lima, confirming that he had spoken to another witness, a confessed drug lord, to make sure their testimonies were consistent.
At a hearing of the House quad committee on Tuesday, Espenido was asked to confirm the testimony of Kerwin Espinosa that former police chief and now Sen. Ronald Dela Rosa had instructed them to make sure their testimonies against de Lima were consistent.
