About this document
People vs. Ulep: Homicide Ruling Analysis by Choelie Ruiz is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This case involved Marivic Genosa who killed her husband. She claimed battered woman syndrome and self-defense. The Supreme Court ruled that (1) while battered woman syndrome does not automatically establish a right to kill, self-defense was not proven as there was a break in aggression before the killing; and (2) treachery was not present as a quarrel preceded the killing, forewarning the victim. The Court found Genosa guilty of homicide without aggravating circumstances.
