Case Brief: Quidet v People

JANUARY 18, 2017JANUARY 18, 2017 JEFF REY
G.R. No. 170289 April 8, 2010

QUIDET

VS.

PEOPLE

FACTS

Quidet and the other two accused were charged with homicide for the death of a victim and
frustrated homicide for the stab wounds sustained by another victim. The RTC convicted all of
them for the said offense. Of the three accused, only Quidet appealed. The CA confirmed the
decision of RTC but with modification. The CA convicted them for attempted homicide instead of
frustrated homicide.

ISSUE

Whether or not the favorable appeal of Quidet will extend to the other two accused who did not
appeal.

HELD

YES. Although they did not appeal their conviction, this part of the appellate courts judgment is
favorable to them, thus, they are entitled to a reduction of their prison terms. The rule is that an
appeal taken by one or more of several accused shall not affect those who did not appeal except
insofar as the judgment of the appellate court is favorable and applicable to the latter.
