    Prieto was charged with 7 counts of treason for joining the Japanese paramilitary force during the occupation and assisting in executions of guerillas. He admitted to counts 1, 2, 3, and 7 but not 4, 5, and 6. The prosecutor only provided evidence for count 4. Prieto was found guilty of counts 1, 2, 3, and 7 since he admitted to them, but was acquitted of count 4 because the testimony of two witnesses did not meet the two-witness rule requirement.

    80 PHIL 138

    People vs. Prieto FACTS: Accused Prieto was charged with treason. During the Japanese occupation, the accused joined the paramilitary force of the Japanese and acted as an undercover agent for them. He assisted in several executions of suspected guerillas. He was charged of 7 counts of treason. He admitted to counts 1, 2, 3, and 7, but didnt admit to counts 4, 5, and 6. The special prosecutor was only able to present evidence to support count 4. HELD/RATIO: The accused was found guilty of treason for counts 1,2,3, and 7; but, he was acquitted for count 4. For counts 1, 2, 3, and 7, the accused was guilty since he admitted. However, he cannot be held liable for count 4 since the two-witness rule wasnt met. The two witnesses testified to two different incidents. In a different light, common crimes are absorbed in treason.
