Finella Jocom, lawyer for Ujano, said they would appeal her conviction before the Court of Appeals (CA), adding that there is a possibility of a "mistrial." "Regarding the appeal on the merits of her conviction, we will refrain from making further comments out of profound respect for the integrity of the judicial process. But we may be looking at a mistrial here," Jocom told The STAR.
