Double Jeopardy in Reckless Imprudence Case by bernicejoyceoliveros is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The case Ivler v. San Pedro addresses the principle of double jeopardy in relation to the quasi-offense of reckless imprudence under Article 365 of the Revised Penal Code. The Supreme Court ruled that a prior conviction for reckless imprudence bars subsequent prosecution for the same offense, regardless of the number of victims or consequences. The court emphasized that reckless imprudence is treated as a single crime, and the consequences only affect the penalty, not the nature of the offense itself.
