PEOPLE v. NANG KAY

This case has been cited 1 times or more.

YNARES-SANTIAGO, J.
In People v. Gonzales,[28] the Court held that the minimum term must be based on the penalty prescribed by the Code for the offense "without regard to circumstances modifying criminal liability."[29] The Gonzales' ruling that the minimum term must be based on the prescribed penalty "without regard to circumstances modifying criminal liability" is only a restatement of Section 1 of the ISL that the minimum term shall be taken from within the range of the penalty next lower to the prescribed penalty (and from nowhere else).[30]
