| Settled is the rule that in criminal cases, except those involving quasi-offenses or those allowed by law to be settled through mutual concessions, an offer of compromise by the accused may be received in evidence as an implied admission of guilt. Evidently, no one would ask for forgiveness unless he had committed some wrong and a plea for forgiveness may be considered as analogous to an attempt to compromise.[25] Under the present circumstances, appellant's plea for forgiveness should be received as an implied admission of guilt. Besides, contrary to appellant's assertion, the killing of Consorcia was deliberate, and not by accident. | |||||
