	GR No. 208678 2014-06-16	PEOPLE v. JEFFERSON WARRINER Y NICDAO REYES, J.
Given the foregoing, the qualifying circumstance of treachery was correctly appreciated in determining Jefferson's criminal liability. The CA correctly found Jefferson guilty beyond reasonable doubt of the crime of murder, and then imposed upon him the penalty of reclusion perpetua. The crime of murder qualified by treachery is penalized under Article 248 of the Revised Penal Code, as amended, with reclusion perpetua to death. Considering that there was no aggravating or mitigating circumstance that attended the commission of the crime, reclusion perpetua was the appropriate penalty.[31] It must, however, be emphasized that Jefferson shall not be eligible for parole, pursuant to Section 3[32] of Republic Act No. 9346. Furthermore, both the civil indemnity and moral damages awarded to the surviving heirs of the deceased should be increased to P75,000.00, to conform to prevailing jurisprudence.[33]
	GR No. 194629 2014-04-21	PEOPLE v. DANTE DULAY REYES, J.
[8] People v. Baldomar, G.R. No. 197043, February 29, 2012, 667 SCRA 415, 417.
	GR No. 201445 2013-11-27	PEOPLE v. HERMENIGILDO MAGLENTE Y MEDINA REYES, J.
The Court, however, modifies the amount of moral damages and exemplary damages awarded in favor of the victim Mendoza to conform to prevailing jurisprudence.[48] Thus, the modified amounts of P40,000.00 as moral damages and P20,000.00 as exemplary damages are hereby awarded.
