OT: Sir Lucius, wag ka talaga lumapit kay Sir Shadow, lahat yata sila nadala niya sa ER...hehehehe...peace, Sir.

BTT: ang quitclaim naman or whatever instrument releasing you from any legal responsibility covers only the civil aspect. yung criminal di included yun, because you cannot waive a right belonging to the Republic of the Philippines. once it finds its way to the court, the quitclaim executed in your favor would just release you from the payment of damages arising from reckless imprudence.what the private complainant could do, if he was true in executing the waiver, is not to appear in any stage of the court proceedings. the other party (accused) through counsel may move for the dismissal of the case for failure to prosecute and invoke the speedy justice provision.

dito, once the dismissal gets final, the complainant cannot refile or revive the case as double jeopardy has already attached to the first indictment.
