This was in response to the petition filed last week by lawyer Ernesto Francisco, who represented the families of Teehankee’s victims – Maureen Hultman, Roland John Chapman and Jussi Olavi Leino – during the trial. In his petition, Francisco questioned the legality of Teehankee’s release, saying the government committed “grave abuse of discretion amounting to lack or excess of jurisdiction" in recommending his pardon and subsequent release from jail.
