SERGIO O. VALENCIA, PETITIONER, VS. HON. SANDIGANBAYAN AND PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES, RESPONDENTS.

G.R. No. 220398 | 2019-06-10

D E C I S I O N
 
DEL CASTILLO, J.:
 
This Petition for Certiorari under Rule 65 of the Rules of Court, filed by Sergio O. Valencia (petitioner), assails the April 6, 2015 Resolution[1] of the Sandiganbayan (First Division) in Criminal Case No. SB-12-CRM-0174 which denied petitioner's Demurrer to Evidence on the ground that there was sufficient evidence to hold him liable for malversation under Article 217 of the Revised Penal Code (RPC), as well as its September 10, 2015 Resolution[2]which denied petitioner's Motion for Reconsideration subsequently filed for lack of merit.

Factual Antecedents:

On July...
