CEDRIC SAYCO y VILLANUEVA v. PEOPLE
AUSTRIA-MARTINEZ, J.
The corpus delicti in the crime of illegal possession of firearms is the accused's lack of license or permit to possess or carry the firearm, as possession itself is not prohibited by law.[21] To establish the corpus delicti, the prosecution has the burden of proving that the firearm exists and that the accused who owned or possessed it does not have the corresponding license or permit to possess or carry the same.[22]
