DOLO

In the case of People v. Belbes (G.R. No. 124670), the Supreme Court gave the following illustrations of
reckless imprudence resulting in homicide:

[1] Exhibiting a loaded revolver to a friend, who was killed by the accidental discharge brought about by
negligent handling; or

[2] Discharging a firearm from the window of one's house and killing a neighbor who just at the moment
leaned over the balcony front; or

[3] Where the defendant, to stop a fist fight, fired his .45 caliber pistol twice in the air, and, as the bout
continued, he fired another shot at the ground, but the bullet ricocheted and hit a bystander who died
soon thereafter.

In the Belbes case, the accused intended to FIRE AT the victim, and in fact hit ONLY the victim. The
offense is definitely NOT reckless imprudence resulting in homicide because the shooting was
intentional

JAIME JOSE Y GOMEZ, ET AL., defendants. JAIME JOSE Y GOMEZ, BASILIO PINEDA, JR., alias "BOY,"
EDGARDO AQUINO Y PAYUMO and ROGELIO CAÑAL Y SEVILLA, defendants-appellants.

Statement According to Maggie Dela Riva

“So it was that at around 4:30 o’clock in the morning of June 26, 1967,” while driving her car from Roxas
Boulevard to her home in Quezon City with her maid, a Pontiac two-door convertible blocked her car
near the gate of her house. A man got out, pulled her out and dragged her into the convertible. She was
forced to sit between 2 men at the back seat, who groped her. They went to the Swanky Hotel in Pasay
City. Blindfolded, they brought her from the car to a room. She was told: “Magburlesque ka para sa
amin.” She ignored this. They forcibly undressed her. Then, they left the room. After a while, Jaime Jose
returned and raped her. Afterwards, Edgardo Aquino had his turn, and, after him, Basilio Pineda and
then Rogelio Canal. When she blacked out, they poured water into her face and slapped her in order to
revive her. When she resisted, they cursed her, threatened to throw acid in her face, and hit her in
different parts of her body.

On June 29, 1967, dela Riva, with her lawyer, filed a complaint with the Quezon City Police Department.
She submitted to an internal medical examination.

On October 2, 1967, the trial Court found the accused REE.Jaime Jose, Rogelio Canal, RCE/RME.Eduardo
Aquino and Basilio Pineda, Jr. guilty of the crime of forcible abduction with rape under Art. 335 of the
Revised Penal Code of the Philippines, and sentenced each of them to the death in the electric chair.
They appealed, but lost.

BILL OF ATTAINDER

G.R. No. Nos. L-32613-14 December 27, 1972

PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES, Petitioner, vs. HON. SIMEON. FERRER (in his capacity as Judge of the Court
of First Instance of Tarlac, Branch I), FELICIANO CO alias LEONCIO CO alias "Bob," and NILO S. TAYAG
alias Romy Reyes alias "Taba," Respondents.

Posed in issue in these two cases is the constitutionality of the Anti-Subversion Act, 1 which outlaws the
Communist Party of the Philippines and other "subversive associations," and punishes any person who
"knowingly, willfully and by overt acts affiliates himself with, becomes or remains a member" of the
Party or of any other similar "subversive" organization.
July 21, 1970 Tayag moved to quash, impugning the validity of the statute on the grounds that (1) it is a
bill of attainder; (2) it is vague; (3) it embraces more than one subject not expressed in the title thereof;
and (4) it denied him the equal protection of the laws.chanroblesvirtualawlibrarychanrobles virtual law

Resolving the constitutional issues raised, the trial court, in its resolution of September 15, 1970,
declared the statute void on the grounds that it is a bill of attainder and that it is vague and overboard,
and dismissed the informations against the two accused. The Government appealed. We resolved to
treat its appeal as a special civil action for certiorari.

by Dennis Abril

ANA LOU B. NAVAJA v. MANUEL A. DE CASTRO, GR No. 182926, 2015-06-22

Facts:

Insists that there is no showing in the Information, or even in the complaint-affidavit and the annexes
thereto that the crime of falsification of a private document was committed or consummated in Jagna,
Bohol... cannot determine the venue because the place of issuance of the receipt is not an element of
the said crime

Issues:

i. Not one of the essential elements of the alleged crime of falsification of a private document was
committed in Jagna, Bohol.

Ruling:

Guided by the settled rule that the jurisdiction of the court is determined by the allegations of the
complaint or information and not by the result of proof [20], the Court holds that Navaja's case for
falsification of private document falls within the... territorial jurisdiction of the MCTC of Jagna, Bohol.

SUPREME TRANSPORTATION LINER, INC. and FELIX Q. RUZ, Petitioners

vs.

ANTONIO SAN ANDRES, Respondent

On November 5, 2002, at around 5:00 in the morning, Ernesto Belchez was driving a passenger bus,
Mabel Tours Bus with body number 1896-C and plate Number TB EBJ (old)/TB EVL-648 (new), owned by
[respondent] Antonio San Andres, along Maharlika Highway in Barangay Malabanban Norte, Candelaria,
Quezon, going towards the direction of Manila. While traversing Maharlika Highway, the Mabel Tours
Bus sideswiped a Toyota Revo it was overtaking. The Mabel Tours Bus immediately swerved to the left
lane but in the process, it hit head-on the Supreme Bus owned and registered in the name of [petitioner]
Supreme Bus Transportation Line, Inc., and driven by [petitioner] Felix G. Ruz, that was negotiating in
the opposite lane. Because of the strong impact of the incident, the Supreme Bus was pushed to the
side of the road and the Mabel Tour Bus continuously moved until it hit a passenger jeepney that was
parked on the side of the road which later on fell on the canal. Nobody died but all the vehicles were
damaged.

The Criminal Justice System is one of the most important tools available to society for the control of
anti-social behavior. The criminal justice system needs to prove a balance between punishing the guilty
and protecting the innocent being found guilty; however, it is not as easy to convict those who are guilty
of committing crimes. There have been many miscarriages to justice where innocent people were sent
to prison. Many people have been affected by crime, this is due to statistics, which show the various
number of crimes committed in particular areas.

Prosecutors dismissed allcharges today filed against a former computer college student accused
ofhaving released the “ILOVEYOU” computer virus that cripplede-mail systems worldwide.
The Department of Justice said the charges filed by investigators either did not apply to computer
hacking, or there was insufficient evidence to back them up.
