ANDRES S. SUERO v. PEOPLE

This case has been cited 3 times or more.

	GR No. 166680 2014-07-07	ALOYSIUS DAIT LUMAUIG v. PEOPLE DEL CASTILLO, J.
It is undisputed that the two charges stemmed from the same incident. "However, [we have] consistently held that the same act may give rise to two or more separate and distinct charges."[16] Further, because there is a variance between the elements of the two offenses charged, petitioner cannot safely assume that his innocence in one case will extend to the other case even if both cases hinge on the same set of evidence.

	GR NOS. 142369-70 2007-04-13	JUANITO T. MERENCILLO v. PEOPLE CORONA, J.
The rule against double jeopardy prohibits twice placing a person in jeopardy of punishment for the same offense.[28] The test is whether one offense is identical with the other or is an attempt to commit it or a frustration thereof; or whether one offense necessarily includes or is necessarily included in the other, as provided in Section 7 of Rule 117 of the Rules of Court.[29] An offense charged necessarily includes that which is proved when some of the essential elements or ingredients of the former, as alleged in the complaint or information, constitute the latter; and an offense charged is necessarily included in the offense proved when the essential ingredients of the former constitute or form a part of those constituting the latter.[30]
