Breaking 6:15pm: Christine Dacera alleged “rape-slay”, Inquest Fiscal Resolution: respondents “released for further investigation”.
Note for Reporters: “released for further investigation” is like a Dismissal on Inquest. Check who attended the Inquest. If no medico-legal and no first-hand presented on Inquest, it will be ordered “for further investigation” , which is similar to a dismissal upon inquest. It goes to preliminary investigation while the respondents walk scot-free.
(fiscals are given three months to resolve a preliminary investigation)
The penalty for online libel under the cybercrime law is “one degree higher” than that provided in the Revised Penal Code, or one degree higher than prision correccional medium. Prision correccional medium is four years and two months. So… in determining that penalty, when i jump it to a degree higher, i just use the number of years within the range of prision correccional medium starting from the minimum of six months and one day; so i compute it at seven years and ten months MAXIMUM ( i don’t start from zero but from six months and one day then jump it forward using the range that follows). The DOJ though , which drafted the IRRs, computes it at EIGHT YEARS maximum.
