G.R. No. 1685  March 13, 1905

THE UNITED STATES,Complainant-Appellee, vs. PABLO CORPUS,Defendant-Appellant.

Steve Ganson for appellant.
Office of the Solicitor-General Araneta for appellee.

CARSON, J.:

The accused in this case was convicted in the Court of First Instance of Pangasinan of the crime of lesiones graves as defined and penalized in No. 3 of article 416 of the Penal Code.chanroblesvirtualawlibrary chanrobles virtual law library

We are of the opinion that the evidence adduced at the trial fully established the guilt of the accused, and that the sentence imposed by the trial court should be affirmed, except in so far as it fixes the term of imprisonment of two years and four months presidio correccional instead of prision correccional, as prescribed by the article of the Penal Code under which he was convicted.chanroblesvirtualawlibrary chanrobles virtual law library

With this modification, therefore, the sentence appealed from is confirmed and the costs imposed upon appellant. So ordered.chanroblesvirtualawlibrary chanrobles virtual law library
