	GR No. 189122 2010-03-17	JOSE ANTONIO LEVISTE v. CA CORONA, J.
In our jurisdiction, the trend towards a strict attitude towards the allowance of bail pending appeal is anchored on the principle that judicial discretion -- particularly with respect to extending bail -- should be exercised not with laxity but with caution and only for strong reasons.[42] In fact, it has even been pointed out that "grave caution that must attend the exercise of judicial discretion in granting bail to a convicted accused is best illustrated and exemplified in Administrative Circular No. 12-94 amending Rule 114, Section 5."[43]
	GR NO. 149723 2006-10-27	PEOPLE v. VICTOR KEITH FITZGERALD AUSTRIA-MARTINEZ, J.
The right to bail emenates from of the right to be presumed innocent. It is accorded to a person in the custody of the law who may, by reason of the presumption of innocence he enjoys,[41] be allowed provisional liberty upon filing of a security to guarantee his appearance before any court, as required under specified conditions.[42]
	GR Nos. 138874-75 2005-07-21	PEOPLE v. FRANCISCO JUAN LARRAÑAGA PER CURIAM
In deciding a criminal case, the policy of the courts is always to look at the case in its entirety. The totality of the evidence presented by both the prosecution and the defense are weighed, thus, averting general conclusions from isolated pieces of evidence. This means that an appeal of a criminal case opens its entire records for review.[9]
