PARDO, J.
Indeed, the Sandiganbayan grievously erred in discharging her as an accused and allowing the prosecution to utilize her as a State witness. Rule 119, Section 9 of the 1985 Rules on Criminal Procedure,[37] as amended, requires that in allowing an accused to be discharged to be a witness for the State, the court must be satisfied that the accused does not appear to be the most guilty and that he has not at any time been convicted of an offense involving moral turpitude.[38]
