US v. CHEE-HA +

DECISION

G. R. NO. 9469

[ G. R. NO. 9469, September 12, 1914 ]

UNITED STATES, PLAINTIFF AND APPELLEE, VS. CHEE-HA, DEFENDANT AND APPELANT

D E C I S I O N

JOHNSON, J.:

This defendant was charged with having in his possession opium in violation of the provisions of law. Upon the oomplaint he was duly arrested, arraigned, tried, found guilty and sentenced to pay a fine of P300.00 and the costs, and in case of insolvency to suffer subsidiary imprisonment in accordance with the provisions of the law. From that sentence the defendant appealed to this court.

In this court the defendant alleges that the proof adduced during the trial of the cause was insufficient to show that he was guilty of the crime charged in the complaint.

After a careful examination of the evidence brought to this oourt, we are persuaded, beyond a reasonable doubt,that the defendant, on or about the 9th day of October 1913, in the City of Manila, did then and there unlawfully have in his possession and under his control 2 grams and 50 centigrams of of morphine, in violation of the provisions of the Opium Law. We find no reason for changing or modifying the sentence of the lower court. The same is therefore hereby affirmed witn costs.

It is so ordered

After the expiration of 10 days from the date hereof let judgment be entered in aooordance herewith, and
10 days thereafter let the record be returned to the courtfrom whence it came, for execution.
