PEOPLE v. ROMEO CORPUZ

This case has been cited 1 times or more.

2005-04-14
CARPIO, J.
Except for the extensive injuries that Renato's body bore, there is no other evidence that proves that there was a prior agreement between Crisostomo and the six inmates to kill Renato. In People v. Corpuz,[29] one of the inmates killed by the other inmates sustained stab wounds that were possibly inflicted by ten persons. The Court ruled that conspiracy could not be inferred from the manner that the accused inmates attacked their fellow inmate because there was no sufficient showing that all the accused inmates acted pursuant to a previous common accord. Each of the accused inmates was held liable for his individual act.
