PEOPLE Vs. Cresenia C. Reyes

PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES, plaintiff-appellee, vs. CRESENIA C. REYES, accused-appellant.

G.R. No. 101127-31 | 1992-08-07

D E C I S I O N


REGALADO, J.:

In its resolution of May 13, 1992, the First Division of this Court referred en consulta to the Court En Banc the question as to whether herein accused-appellant who was convicted, inter alia, of estafa under paragraph 2(d), Article 315 of the Revised Penal Code and sentenced therefor to serve twenty-two years of reclusion perpetua, with its accessory penalties and liability for indemnification, may be allowed to and remain on bail during the pendency of her appeal from said conviction.

A definitive disposition of this issue, which is of first impression, gains added significance in light of our resolution...
