ESSAY (3O POINTS)
A. During a town fiesta, a free-for-all fight erupted in the public plaza. As a result of the tumultuous
affray, Mr. Rodrigo sustained one fatal and three superficial stab wounds. He died a day after. Antonio,
Leila, Kiko and Risa were proven to be participants in the "rumble", each using a knife against Rodrigo,
but it could not be ascertained who among them inflicted the mortal injury. Who shall be held
criminally liable for the death of Rodrigo and for what, and why? (4pts)

Antonio, Leila, Kiko and Risa being participants in the tumultuous affray and having been proven to
have inflicted serious physical injuries, or at least, employed violence upon Rodrigo, are criminally liable
for the latter's death. And because it cannot be ascertained who among them inflicted the mortal injury
on Rodrigo, there being a free-for-all fight or tumultuous affray. Antonio, Leila, Kiko and Risa are all
liable for the crime of death caused in a tumultuous affray under Article 251 of the Revised Penal Code.

B. Mr. Webb killed: (1) a woman with whom he lived without benefit of clergy, (2) their child who was
only two days old, (3) their daughter, and (4) their adopted son. What crime or crimes did Webb
commit against (1) (2) (3) and (4)? (You must write four answers for this number as there were 4
people killed) (4pts)

1.] HOMICIDE or murder as the case may be, for the killing of his common-law wife who is not
legally considered a "spouse"
2.] INFANTICIDE for the killing of the child as said child is less than three (3) days old. (Art. 255,
RPC) However, the penalty corresponding to parricide shall be imposed since A is related to the child
within the degree defined in the crime of parricide.
3.] PARRICIDE for the killing of their daughter, whether legitimate or illegitimate, as long as she is
not less than three (3) days old at the time of the killing.
4.] MURDER for the killing of their adopted son as the relationship between A and the said son
must be by blood in order for parricide to arise.

C. In 1980, Francis, then a resident of Indang, abandoned his wife and their son, Keith, who was then
only three years old. Twenty years later, an affray took place in a bar in Trece Martires City between
Francis and his companions, on one hand, and Keith and his gangster friends, upon the other, without
the father and son knowing each other. Keith stabbed and killed Francis in the fight, only to find out, a
week later, when his mother arrived from Manila to visit him in jail, that the man whom he killed was
his own father. What crime did Keith commit? Explain. (4pts)

1) Keith committed parricide because the person killed was his own father, and the law punishing the
crime (Art. 246, RPC) does not require that the crime be "knowingly" committed. Should Keith be
prosecuted and found guilty of parricide, the penalty to be imposed is Art. 49 of the Revised Penal
Code for Homicide (the crime he intended to commit) but in its maximum period.

ALTERNATIVE ANSWER:
Keith should be held criminally liable only for homicide not parricide because the relationship which
qualified the killing to parricide is virtually absent for a period of twenty years already, such that Keith
could not possibly be aware that his adversary was his father. In other words, the moral basis for
imposing the higher penalty for parricide is absent.

where the offense shall have been committed against any of the persons enumerated in Art 246
(the crime of parricide).

(c) Will your answers to (a) and (b) be the same if before the incident Robinson and Golda
were legally separated? Explain. (2pts)
(c) YES. same answer. If they were legally separated at the time of the incident, then Robinson

told Bobby, "If you will not give back the necklace to me, I will kill you!" Out of fear for his life and

OJ committed the crime of grave coercion (Art. 286, RPC) for compelling BOBBY, by means of
serious threats or intimidation, to do something against the latter's will, whether it be right or
