| The Sandiganbayan imposed an indeterminate sentence on Crisostomo. The Indeterminate Sentence Law ("ISL") is not applicable to persons convicted of offenses punished with the death penalty or reclusion perpetua.[74] Since Crisostomo was accused of murder, the penalty for which is reclusion temporal in its maximum period to death, the Sandiganbayan should have imposed the penalty in its medium period since it found no aggravating circumstance.[75] The medium period of the penalty is reclusion perpertua. | |||||
