About this document
Del Monte Case: Evidence Admissibility Ruling by Maria Analyn is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Del Monte was found guilty in lower courts of violating RA 9165 for selling drugs. He appealed to the Supreme Court arguing that police failed to comply with Section 21 of RA 9165 regarding documenting his arrest. However, the Supreme Court ruled that non-compliance with Section 21 does not make evidence inadmissible and does not invalidate an arrest. It is most important that the evidence is preserved and can determine guilt or innocence. Del Monte
