“ As the Co-Prosecutor filed a final appeal stating that the Accused deserves the penalty of death and the two inferior courts should not have reduced the penalty in favour of the Accused because there is no mitigating circumstance in the case, all the points in [this] final appeal are based on questions of fact, causing the final appeal of the Co-Prosecutor to fall under the prohibition of the said legal provision. The final appeal of the Co-Prosecutor, though accepted by the court of first instance, is illegitimate. The Supreme Court [hereby] refuses to rule upon it. ”

“ True love consists in goodwill towards the one a person loves, gladness when the loved one is happy, forgiveness when the loved one does wrong, and sacrifice of one's own happiness for the happiness of the loved one. ”

“ On the count of having [in possession] a registered gun of another person, [the court sentences him to] one-year imprisonment. The confession the Accused gave in the course of the arrest, inquiry, and trial did furnish the court with information beneficial to the trial, giving rise to a mitigating circumstance for which the sentence can be reduced by one third in favour of the Accused as per the Penal Code, section 78 in conjunction with section 52 (1) . As for the count of premeditatedly killing another person, [the penalty is reduced to] life imprisonment. ”
