ROSITA SY, Petitioner, versus PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES, Respondent

G.R. No. 183879 | 2010-04-14

R E S O L U T I O N

NACHURA, J.:

Before the Court is a petition for review on certiorari under Rule 45 of the Rules of Court, assailing the Decision[1] dated July 22, 2008 of the Court of Appeals (CA) in CA-G.R. CR No. 30628.

Rosita Sy (Sy) was charged with one count of illegal recruitment in Criminal Case No. 02-0537 and one count of estafa in Criminal Case No. 02-0536. In a joint decision of the Regional Trial Court (RTC), Sy was exonerated of the illegal recruitment charge. However, she was convicted of the crime of estafa. Thus, the instant appeal involves only Criminal Case No. 02-0536 for the crime of estafa.
