PEOPLE vs Moroy Gallo

PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES, plaintiff-appellee vs. MOROY "SONNY" GALLO, accused-appellant.

G.R. No. 128361 | 1999-11-16

D E C I S I O N


BELLOSILLO, J.:

Accused-appellant Moroy Gallo also known as "Sonny" was convicted by the trial court1 [Decision penned by Judge Jose Y. Aguirre, Jr., RTC-Br. 55, Himamaylan, Negros Occidental; rollo, pp. 15-24.] of murder and sentenced to reclusion perpetua. He was also ordered to pay P100,000.00 for moral damages without subsidiary imprisonment in case of insolvency. Accused-appellant now assails the decision of the court a quo alleging that it erred in giving full faith and reliance on the absurd, incredible and unnatural testimony of the prosecution witnesses.2 [Id., p. 52.]
