I personally know the Galvezes and it is unlikely that they committed such crime. They are hardworking and they are honest people. Do a background check on the victim and you’ll see how shady his personality is. It could have been the people he swindled.

Liberal bias, agendas, distortions and erroneous reporting in the mainstream media!

You did not give the Galvez Family the benefit of the doubt. Do not label them masterminds if you have not proven it. Publishing of the accusations as a fact and without proper defense argumentation constitute presumption of guilt. It’s not fair to the Galvez Family.

Although your headline sounds catchy and it definitely makes the NBI “look good”, you are damaging another family’s reputation. “Innocent until proven guilty..” is not only a legal principle but a moral one as well. Do not compromise morality for the sake of a good story.

One would much rather that twenty guilty persons should escape the punishment of death than that one innocent person should be condemned by the public and suffer!

What an irresponsible piece!!! The case has not been tried but it has been “solved”?!? What’s the point of going to court then? The above statements are allegations, not facts. Be careful of your libelous entry! It is so easy to defame a person but you are compromising your own credibility by doing so. The Galvezes should be considered innocent until it can be proved that they are guilty. If you are accused of a crime, you should always have the right to defend yourself. Nobody has the right to condemn you for something you have not done.

The journalist and author Janet Malcolm wrote in her book The Journalist and the Murderer:

“Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible. He is a kind of confidence man, preying on people’s vanity, ignorance or loneliness, gaining their trust and betraying them without remorse.”
