The evidence admitted by the court in this case of arbitrary detention included the vehicle used to seize Jonas Burgos, which was found in the military camp that the accused commanded over. Even if the three prosecution witnesses who had earlier identified the accused on preliminary investigation as part of the team that seized Jonas, had themselves gone missing before being presented in court, the accused should have at the very least been convicted of being an accessory or an accomplice — the weapon being used to commit the crime (the vehicle used for forcibly transporting Jonas) having been found under his supervision and control inside his military camp. This acquittal was very wrong.
