The Makati City Prosecutor\u2019s Office has found probable cause to press attempted murder charges against Ryan Joseph Jaworksi, the 40-year-old son of former senator Robert Jaworski. The younger Jaworksi was involved in a failed entrapment operation on Sept 19 where he allegedly fired shots at arresting police officers.<\/p>\n

In a 10-page resolution by Senior Assistant City Prosecutor Gaudencio Tolledo Jr. of the Makati City Prosecutor\u2019s Office, it has been advised that Jaworski be indicted of attempted murder despite his negative paraffin test result.<\/p>\n

Toledo said that since the paraffin test were done two days after the incident \u201cthe [paraffin] result does not preclude [him from] firing shots.\u201d He added, \u201cThere are factors that may affect the presence or absence of nitrates. This is well settled.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was also mentioned in the resolution that there were three bullet holes found in the getaway car that Jaworki\u2019s cohorts, Joselito Au and Ferdinand Parago used. An entry and an exit hole on the right side of the rear window metal frame, and a secondary bullet hole on the same section of the vehicle were found.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe entry hole was caused by a bullet fired in a downward direction from the rear side of the motor vehicle,\u201d corroborating the \u201cclaim [that] Jaworski repeatedly shot (the police) when he and his companions were trying to extricate themselves,\u201d said Tolledo.<\/p>\n

Tolledo insisted that there was a \u201csufficient to warrant the indictment for unlawful possession of firearm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jaworski has earlier admitted that he was indeed selling the 12-gauge shotgun found in his car\u2019s compartment. The weapon was not licensed under Jaworki\u2019s name or his companions\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be liable for possession of a loose firearm, actual possession is not required. Constructive possession over the loose firearm just like in the case under consideration is sufficient to hold [the suspect] liable therefore,\u201d Toledo explained.<\/p>\n

Toledo, on the other hand, dismissed arms smuggling, and direct assault upon an authority charges against Jaworksi. He said that the police should have cited \u201cunlawful sale of firearms\u201d as violation instead of arms smuggling. The direct assault complaint was dismissed because there was no proof that Jaworski knew that he was dealing with policemen.<\/p>\n

Jaworski countersued the police for frustrated murder and planting of evidence but due to lack of evidence, these charges were dropped.<\/p>\n

Bail in Jaworki\u2019s case was set to P120,000 for each count of attempted murder and illegal possession of firearm.<\/p>\n

Parago remains on the loose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
