Jumping to conclusion concluded
In my post last week I said that Luis B. Reyes and Leonor D. Boado disagree as to the criminal liability of a suicide jumper.
Reyes said in The Revised Penal Code, Book One, 2012 Edition on page 69,
Reyes is correct that A is not criminally liable for intentional homicide. But is that the end of the story? Could we just let A walk away and jump again?
Going back to Facundo who "jumped to his conclusion", Boado says Facundo may not be guilty of homicide but still liable for something else. And as I said last week Boado is not being facetious when she said that Facundo jumped to his conclusion. On page 45 of the Notes and Cases on the Revised Penal Code, 2012 Edition Boado says:
If suicide were a crime I'd dare say that this would be a case of aberratio ictus. The suicide jumper wants to kill a person (himself) but killed another.

Jumping to conclusion
Jumping to conclusion is an idiom which means, according to the Cambridge Dictionary Online, to guess the facts about a situation without having enough information.
It is also a psychological term according to Wikipedia with basically the same meaning.
Leonor Boado, in her textbook in criminal law Notes and Cases on the Revised Penal Code, 2012 Edition, gives a peculiar legal twist to the term. On page 47 of the text she says:
As to whether Facundo, or any suicide jumper, is liable for the death of anybody he happens to fall onto, Reyes has a different opinion than Boado.
That will have to wait for the next post. And we will see then that Boado was not facetious in saying that Facundo, indeed, jumped to his conclusion.

Although the author correctly quoted from the decision, I think that instead of "installed" the more appropriate word would be "instituted."

I was away for a couple of weeks because it was, [trumpets here], graduation time! There may be less posting from time to time as I am enjoying a sort of a break from law books. I've just finished reading Opportunity of a Lifetime by Wilson Sy. The book is about investment.
