MANILA, Philippines — The Court of Appeals upheld the murder conviction of Jason Ivler over the killing of the son of a former government official in a road altercation incident in 2009. Ivler sought the appellate court to overturn the Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 84's conviction on the shooting of Renato Victor Ebarle Jr. on Nov. 18, 2009. But the CA 14th Division junked the appeal and held that Ivler "stands convicted of murder," and that the "prosecution has proven all of the elements of murder."
