PROSECUTOR vs Nambajimana
The Supreme Court held that the accused's confession before Judicial Police and Prosecution, corroborated by other evidence and not rebutted by proof of coercion or threat, was sufficient for conviction. The new penal code, providing a lesser penalty, must be applied, resulting in a reduced sentence.
