Study Notes
Legal Definitions and Concepts
- Instigation and Entrapment: Law enforcement can utilize buy-bust operations to apprehend suspects; however, instigation by police can lead to acquittal based on public policy, especially if the suspect acted under pressure.
- Qualified Trespassing: Prevention of serious harm or rendering service to humanity justifies trespassing, especially concerning parents protecting their daughters under eighteen from predatory actions.
Arrest and Charges
- Circumstances Leading to Arrest: An individual, X, offering drugs while working as a meat vendor led to their arrest.
- Good Faith Defense: While good faith can be invoked in some defenses, it does not apply universally, especially when a person acts outside official duties.
(Re)enactment of Laws
- Repealing Laws: A new law can be enacted that retains penalties for pending cases; prior offenses may still hold relevance despite legislative changes if the new law stipulates so.
National Security Crimes
- Categorization of Crimes: Treason and espionage fall under national security, while piracy and mutiny are examples of crimes against international law.
- Dual Crimes: Commission of two crimes can occur against different victims (intended vs. actual), but penalties are assessed based on the severity of the crimes involved.
Legal Stages of Crimes
- Stages of Commission: Consummated crimes are the standard, but extraordinary circumstances can prevent crime completion, affecting liability.
- Complex Crimes: Different felonies can lead to a single charge if both are grave misdemeanors, while light felonies necessitate separate charges.
Self-Defense Principles
- Justifying Circumstances: Conditions for lawful self-defense include immediate aggression by another and necessity in the response.
- Battered Woman Syndrome: Under RA 9262, this syndrome provides context for behavior patterns in abusive relationships; no liability applies when defending against escalating violence.
Examination of Specific Cases
- Case Analysis of People v. Abartha: In a scenario where a spouse discovers infidelity, subsequent actions may draw scrutiny under the law regarding provocation and intent.
- Murder Charges and Penalties: Actions resulting from intense emotional states can complicate perceptions of intent and culpability.
Types of Felonies
- Classification of Felonies: Grave felonies attract severe penalties, while less grave felonies incur correctional penalties.
- Criminal Liability: The intent and circumstances of individuals are crucial in determining legal responsibility for actions taken during emotional crises or illegal activities.
