Idea
Analysis Under RA 7659 or the Death Penalty Act, heinous crimes are:

“grievous, odious and hateful offenses and which, by reason of their inherent or manifest
wickedness, viciousness, atrocity and perversity are repugnant and outrageous to the
common standards and norms of decency and morality in a just, civilized and ordered
society.”

Evidence Trillanes vs. Pimentel

In attempting to strike a distinction between his case and that of Jalosjos,

petitioner chiefly points out that former Rep. Romeo Jalosjos (Jalosjos)
was already convicted, albeit his conviction was pending appeal, when he
filed a motion similar to petitioner’s Omnibus Motion, whereas he
(petitioner) is a mere detention prisoner. He asserts that he continues to
enjoy civil and political rights since the presumption of innocence is still in
his favor.
