Title Supreme Court: Dorado vs. People

Case: G.R. No. 216671

Decision Date: Oct 3, 2016

A 16-year-old minor, Jerwin Dorado, was initially convicted of frustrated murder for shooting Ronald Bonion. The Supreme Court reversed the conviction, ruling Dorado exempt from criminal liability under R.A. No. 9344 due to lack of discernment. The crime was reclassified as frustrated homicide, and Dorado was referred to an intervention program but ordered to pay civil indemnity and moral damages.
