Criminal Law Case Digests: And Review Materials on the Revised Penal Code and Other Philippine Penal Laws (1904-2019)

A hornbook and textbook - it explains the basics, fundamentals and rudiments of Criminal Law and conjunctively delves further into the legal texts and treatises upon which established precedents on the subject are based, wherewith the book descants the more subtle and perplexing issues and legal principles as pronounced by the High Court in the cases discussed and cited in this work. This volume contains an aggregate of four hundred and forty (440) cases, showing the facts on how the crime was perpetuated, and in plain and easy language the meaning of the legal provisions being discussed, carefully selected and culled from more than a century of Supreme Court decisions. The presentation deviates from the conventional method of article by article sequence of discussion, and instead sunders them into various segments according to the issues posed and the legal doctrines applied and discussed, with review materials - in outline form - on several aoristic and obscure areas interjected between the segments. By the described method of instruction, further guided by the syllabi systematically interwoven with a quick search subject index, thereby modifying the format of the index section to find easy-to-find additional review materials, the readers - the legal researchers, the students of criminal law, the bar and board reviewees and the police officers alike - would find ease in learning and understanding Criminal Law.
