Senator, lady solons: ‘Don’t blame Nicole

Maza said Nicole’s decision to terminate the services of Ursua andleave the country was “immaterial” to the criminal case against Smith,who is appealing his conviction.

”Nicole has done her part in filing the case and testifying against Smith. The burden now in seeing to it that full justice is served lies in the hands of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. She should assert Philippine custody of Smith and she is the one who should be blamed, not Nicole, if and when Smith continues to get away with the crime,”Maza said in a text message.
