📚 Case Title: People of the Philippines vs. Niña Caray y Emmanuel
G.R. No.: 245391
Date of Promulgation: September 11, 2019
📈 In People v. Niña Caray y Emmanuel, G.R. No. 245391, the Supreme Court of the Philippines overturned a life sentence conviction for illegal drug sale due to a critical violation of the chain of custody rule under Section 21 of Republic Act No. 9165. The accused was acquitted because the arresting officers failed to comply with mandatory procedural safeguards—specifically, the absence of key witnesses (elected official and DOJ representative) during the inventory of seized drugs. This precedent-setting case is a must-know for anyone facing or studying criminal charges related to illegal drugs in the Philippines. It reiterates that no matter how strong the evidence may seem, failure to strictly comply with the law's requirements can render a case fatally defective. Dive into the full case analysis to learn why following legal protocol can literally mean the difference between life imprisonment and acquittal.
👉 This case is classified under Criminal Law and is essential for law students, bar examinees, and criminal justice professionals.
