PER CURIAM |
||||
| In 1991, in People v. Flores[39] a registered nurse was successively raped by four (4) men and then killed. The trial court convicted each of them with the special complex,crime of multiple rape with homicide on four (4) counts and as a consequence thereof sentenced each of them to four (4) death penalties. This Court affirmed the decision of the lower court with the modification that the accused should instead suffer four (4) penalties of reclusion perpetua by reason of the constitutional proscription on the imposition of the death penalty. The four (4) death penalties for each of the appellants were explained to be ordained by the fact that conspiracy had been established beyond reasonable doubt. | |||||
