SECOND DIVISION
PERFECTO DEL ROSARIO, JR., Petitioner,
G. R. No. L-65004
November 29, 1983 -versus-
HON. ALFREDO A. ROSERO, Respondent. R E S O L U T I O N
MAKASIAR, J.:

The Court resolved to give due course to the petition, to consider the Comment of the Solicitor General as a responsive pleading, and to decide the case.
As recounted by the Solicitor General in his comment, it is undisputed that on February 16, 1983, petitioner was charged with theft of some articles valued at Three Hundred Seventy Five [P375.00] Pesos. Petitioner was detained for failure to post bail. Assisted by CLAO counsel, upon arraignment, petitioner pleaded guilty. In a decision dated May 5, 1983 but promulgated on May 11, 1983 at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, respondent Judge Alfredo A. Rosero sentenced him to an indeterminate imprisonment of from six months as minimum, to one year and one month as maximum, and to pay the offended party the sum of P375.00, crediting him, however, with the entire period of his preventive imprisonment.cralaw
Immediately after the sentence was read to petitioner, respondent Judge issued a "Commitment on Final Sentence" that very same day, May 11, 1983, addressed to the Provincial Jail Warden to whom the petitioner was committed. Also, that very same day, May 11, 1983, petitioner prepared his application for probation which was received by the Court on May 18, 1983: On May 20, 1983, respondent Judge denied the application for probation on the ground that "the sentence of conviction became final and executory on May 11, 1983, when the accused actually commenced to serve his sentence."
On June 7, 1983, petitioner filed a Motion for Reconsideration of the Order dated May 20, 1983 denying his application for probation, on the ground that his having been whisked to jail on May 11, 1983 did not constitute the commencement of the service of sentence as the judgment

    R Vs Robert

    • 577 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Roberts was “convicted by Keenen J., sitting without a jury, of aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.” (R v. Roberts, p 5) The sentence was postponed, however, from 2001 to 2004, because of a pending application submitted by the Crown. The application was to submit Roberts to psychiatric testing to determine if he would be convicted as a dangerous offender under section 753 of the Criminal Code or a long-term offender under section 753.1 of the Criminal Code. The application was approved and the assessment of Roberts proceeded. The sentencing judge, LaForme J., found that Roberts never fit the criteria to be a dangerous or long-term offender as described in the Criminal Code and he found that Roberts would not be sentenced as such. Roberts was sentenced to “two years less a day plus three years probation on terms requiring submission to psychiatric treatment, medication treatment, drug and alcohol treatment, plus testing and other rehabilitative conditions.” (R v. Roberts, p…

    The Court’s judgment in R. v. Morin (1992) 1 SCR 771, set out “administrative guidelines” regarding claims made involving section 11(b) of the Charter, and how to assess the reasonableness of institutional delay. Some of the factors that the Supreme Court considers in regards to whether a delay is reasonable or not includes reasons for the delay, length of the delay, prejudicial effect on the Appellant and any waiver of time periods. In R v. Morin, on behalf of the majority, Sopinka J. explained that depending on the presence or absence of prejudice, the administrative guidelines for institutional delay could be adjusted. Between committal and trial, an eight to ten months administrative guideline was establish by the Court for Provincial Court cases, and following a preliminary hearing a delay of an additional six to eight months is considered reasonable. In R. v. Jordan case, the judge found 32.5 months institutional delay and a two months total Crown delay. Of the 32.5 months institutional delay, overwhelmingly lack of resources caused 19 months of delay in Provincial Court. After examining the total amount of institutional/Crown delay, the judge concluded that this delay “substantially exceeded” the guidelines set out by Morin, but, on its own, it is not an unreasonable delay. The Appellant submitted an application for a stay of proceedings that was dismissed by the trial judge, because the judge concluded, the prejudice experienced by Jordan resulting from the delay was not substantial. According to the judge, the delays were institutional and the Appellant charges were more serious. Any meaningful prejudice experienced by Jordan was not significant. Also, because of a prior conviction, he was subject to a conditional sentence order; his bail condition did not have any significant impact on him and while on bail he was also able to find employment. Thus, the Appellant…

    In the case of Mempa v. Rhay, which the accused pleaded guilty with the advice of court-appointed counsel to the crime of "joyriding" and was placed on probation for two years. Then soon after the sentence was deferred because he was involved in a burglary and sentenced to 10 years in prison but only would receive 1 year with the advice from the parole. This was achieved due the fact that the probation officer questioned by the probationer about the incident and the parolee admitted his involvement. The offender filed a petition of habeas corpus in the State Supreme Court claiming that he had been denied the right to counsel during the probation revocation hearing, the court denied the petition. In later years the offender reoffended and convicted of second degree burglary and then placed on probation, while on probation he was arrested for forgery and grand larceny. Again at the revocation hearing the defendant had council but never showed but the proceedings still took place.…
