    SEARCHES AND SEIZURES

    People vs. Aminnudin


    G.R.No. 74869 July 6, 1988
    FACTS:
    At about 8:30 in the evening, Idel Aminnudin was arrested after disembarking from the M/V Wilcon 9
    in Iloilo City. The PC officers searched him and found something that look liked marijuana leaves
    took him to their headquarters for investigation. The two bundles of suspect articles were confiscated
    from him and later taken to the NBI laboratory for examination. When they were verified as
    marijuana leaves, an information for violation of the Dangerous Drugs Act was filed against
    him. 2Later, the information was amended to include Farida Ali y Hassen, who had also been arrested
    with him that same evening and likewise investigated. 3 Both were arraigned and pleaded not
    guilty. 4 Subsequently, the fiscal filed a motion to dismiss the charge against Ali on the basis of a sworn
    statement of the arresting officers absolving her after a 'thorough investigation." 5 The motion was
    granted, and trial proceeded only against the accused-appellant, who was eventually convicted .
