Title Supreme Court: People vs. Estoista

Case: G.R. No. L-5793

Decision Date: Aug 27, 1953

Alberto Estoista, using his father’s licensed rifle, accidentally killed a laborer while hunting. Convicted of illegal firearm possession, he appealed, challenging the penalty and confiscation. The Supreme Court upheld the conviction, ruling his independent use constituted illegal possession, reduced his sentence, and affirmed confiscation under public safety concerns.
