About This Quiz
Cjl 1 Quiz No. 1 - Quiz

CJL 1 QUIZ NO. 1 covers key concepts in criminal law procedures, focusing on legal documents, prosecution direction, and specific crime complaints.

2. The crimes of adultery and concubinage are considered private crimes. Which means –

Explanation

The correct answer is "Shall not be prosecuted except upon a complaint filed by the offended spouse." This means that adultery and concubinage cannot be prosecuted unless the spouse who was offended by the act files a complaint. This indicates that the crimes are considered private, and only the aggrieved spouse has the authority to initiate legal action against the offender.

Submit
3. A sworn written statement charging a person with an offense, subscribed by the offended party, any peace officer, or other public officer charged with the enforcement of the law violated.

Explanation

The given definition describes a complaint, which is a sworn written statement that charges a person with an offense. It can be subscribed by the offended party, a peace officer, or any public officer responsible for enforcing the law that has been violated. A complaint is the first step in initiating a legal process against someone accused of committing a crime.

Submit
4. Junjun was bought after the court for the reading of the criminal complaint against him and to give him an opportunity to plead –

Explanation

The correct answer is "Arraignment" because it is the legal process where the defendant is formally charged with a crime and is given the opportunity to enter a plea (guilty, not guilty, or no contest). This typically occurs after the court reads the criminal complaint against the defendant. The arraignment is an important step in the criminal justice system as it ensures that the defendant understands the charges against them and can respond accordingly.

Submit
5. In offenses of seduction, abduction, and acts of lasciviousness. Who can initiate the prosecution of the offense if the offended party, parents, grandparents, and guardian failed to do so?

Explanation

The state can initiate the prosecution of the offense if the offended party, parents, grandparents, and guardian failed to do so. This means that even if the victim or their immediate family members do not file a complaint, the state has the authority to take legal action against the offender. This ensures that justice can still be pursued even if the victim or their family are unable or unwilling to initiate the prosecution themselves.

Submit
6. It is not necessary to state in the complaint or information the precise date the offense was committed, except when –

Explanation

In legal terms, a "material ingredient" refers to a crucial element or factor that is necessary to prove the offense. Therefore, when the date is a material ingredient of the offense, it means that the specific date on which the offense occurred is essential to establish the crime. In such cases, it is necessary to state the precise date in the complaint or information in order to provide accurate and relevant information about the offense.

Submit
7. A sworn written statement charging a person with an offense, subscribed by the offended party, any peace officer, or other public officer charged with the enforcement of the law violated.

Explanation

A complaint initiates legal proceedings against the accused and serves as the basis for further investigation and prosecution.

Submit
9. All criminal actions commenced by a complaint or information shall be prosecuted under the direction and control of the?

Explanation

All criminal actions commenced by a complaint or information are prosecuted under the direction and control of the prosecutor. The prosecutor is responsible for representing the government in criminal cases and presenting evidence against the accused. They have the authority to decide whether to proceed with a case, negotiate plea deals, and determine the appropriate charges and penalties. The police may initiate the investigation and gather evidence, but it is ultimately the prosecutor who decides whether to pursue the case in court. Judges play a role in overseeing the legal proceedings and ensuring a fair trial, but they do not direct or control the prosecution. The barangay, on the other hand, is a local government unit in the Philippines and does not have jurisdiction over criminal prosecutions.

Submit
10. All criminal actions commenced by a complaint or information shall be prosecuted under the direction and control of the prosecutor.

11. If the offense is against property, and the name of the offended party is unknown, what should be done?

Explanation

If the offense is against property and the name of the offended party is unknown, the appropriate action would be to describe the property with such particularity. This means providing detailed and specific information about the property in question, such as its location, characteristics, and any distinguishing features. By doing so, it helps to identify and establish the connection between the offense and the property, even if the name of the offended party is not known. This allows for a proper investigation and potential resolution of the complaint.

Submit
12.  Crimes of adultery and concubinage shall not be prosecuted except upon a complaint filed by the ?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Offended spouse." Crimes of adultery and concubinage can only be prosecuted if the offended spouse files a complaint. This means that only the spouse who has been directly affected by the adultery or concubinage can initiate legal action against the offending party. The involvement of her parents or guardian is not necessary in this case.

Submit
13. What if the name of the accused who beaten Junjun was not known, how would we ascertain his identification in the complaint?

Explanation

If the name of the accused who beat Junjun is not known, the best way to ascertain his identification in the complaint is to describe him under a fictitious name with a statement that his true name is unknown. This allows for the identification of the accused without providing false information or making assumptions about his identity. It also acknowledges the fact that his true name is not known, ensuring accuracy in the complaint.

Submit
14. An accusation in writing charging a person with an offense, subscribed by the prosecutor and filed with court.

Explanation

Submit
18. Responsibility of the court to determine if the accused is guilty of the case charged through evidences submitted by both parties.

Explanation

The responsibility of the court to determine if the accused is guilty of the case charged through evidences submitted by both parties is best described as "Deciding Controversies." In a court of law, the judge or jury must carefully consider the evidence presented by both the prosecution and the defense in order to reach a verdict. This process involves weighing the arguments and evidence from both sides and making a decision on the guilt or innocence of the accused. Therefore, the court's role in determining the outcome of a case can be seen as resolving the controversies and disputes presented by the opposing parties.

Therefore, the employer of Mike Enriquez is the correct answer as it does not fit the criteria of being a natural person.

Submit
22. In crimes of seduction, abduction, and acts of lasciviousness, the following can prosecute the offense, except –

Explanation

In crimes of seduction, abduction, and acts of lasciviousness, the offended party, her parents, and guardian can prosecute the offense. However, the offended spouse cannot prosecute the offense because the term "offended spouse" refers specifically to a person who is married to the offender. In cases of seduction, abduction, and acts of lasciviousness, the offended spouse is not directly involved or affected, therefore they do not have the legal standing to prosecute the offense.

Submit
23. The branch of Government which cases are brought and deciding controversies

Explanation

The correct answer is Judiciary. The judiciary is the branch of government that is responsible for hearing and deciding legal cases and controversies. They interpret and apply the law to resolve disputes between individuals, organizations, or the government. The judiciary ensures that justice is served and upholds the rule of law. They play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of power and ensuring the fair administration of justice.

Submit
24. Junjun was been charged with a possible penalty of 4 years. Is preliminary investigation required?

Explanation

Submit

Explanation
