Felonies are committed not only be means of deceit (dolo) but also by
means of fault (culpa).
There is deceit when the act is performed with deliberate intent and
there is fault when the wrongful act results from imprudence,
negligence, lack of foresight, or lack of skill.

STAGES IN THE EXECUTION OF A FELONY
DEVELOPMENT OF A CRIME
1. Internal acts- these are the mere ideas in the mind of a person
2. External acts-

Supreme Court said: “it would be too strained to construe petitioner’s act of pressing a chemical-soaked
cloth in the mouth of Malou which would induce her to sleep as an overt act that will logically and
naturally ripen into concrete rape. Petitioner did not commence at all the performance of any act indicative
of an intent or attempt to rape Malou. It cannot be overemphasized that petitioner was fully clothed and that
there was no attempt on his part to undress Malou. For what reason petitioner wanted the complainant
unconscious, if that was really his immediate intention, is anybody’s guess.” His act of embracing and
kissing Malou, mashing her breast, inserting his hand inside her panty and touching her sexual organ, while
obscene and detestable acts, do not constitute attempted rape absent any showing that he actually
commenced to force his penis into the complainant’s sexual organ.

Overt Act- some physical activity or deed more than a mere
planning or preparation, which if carried out to its complete
termination following its natural course. Without being frustrated by
external obstacles nor by the voluntary desistance of the perpetrator,
will logically and naturally ripen in a concrete offense.
There is proposal when the person who has decided to commit a felony
proposes its execution to some other person or persons.

In People vs. Aca-ac 357 SCRA 373 the Court said: “For the consummation of rape perfect penetration is
not essential. Any penetration of the female organ by the male organ is sufficient. Entry of the labia or lips
of the female organ, without rupture of the hymen, is sufficient to warrant conviction. Taking into account
the nature, elements, and manner of execution of the crime of rape and jurisprudence on the matter, it is
hardly conceivable how the frustrated stage in rape can ever be committed.

1. Unlawful aggression
2. Reasonable necessity of the means employed to prevent or repel it
3. The person defending be not induced by revenge, resentment or
other evil motive.
6
Reasonable necessity of the means employed does not imply material commensurability between the
means of attack and defense. What the law requires is a rational equivalence, in the consideration of which
will enter as principal factors the emergency, the imminent danger to which the person attacked is exposed,
and the instinct more than reason, that moves or impels the defense.
7
In People vs. Ubaldo 367 SCRA 432 the Supreme Court declared that the means used by the defender
was unreasonable, because the number of the gunshot wounds inflicted on the deceased shows that the
means employed were hardly reasonable at all. The nature and number of wounds inflicted upon the victim
are important indicia which disprove self defense. The multiple gunshot wounds inflicted upon the
deceased show that appellant’s act was not one of self defense, but was a determined and purposeful attack
upon the victim.

In Baxinela vs. People 485 SCRA 331, a policeman was held guilty when he shot at somebody who had a
gun tucked around his waist. When he shot the offended party the latter was not at all resisting. The
shooting of the offended party cannot be considered due performance of a duty if at that time the offended
party posed no serious threat or harm to Baxinela or the civilians in the pub.

Here, a fugitive was escaping from a policeman. In order to prevent the continued and imminent escape
of the fugitive, the policeman fired at the fugitive. The Supreme Court acquitted the policeman, on the
ground that the killing was done in the fulfillment of duty. But in People vs. Lagata, a jail guard shot to
death a prisoner whom he thought was escaping. The Supreme Court affirmed the conviction of the jail
guard for homicide because the facts showed that the prisoner was not at all trying to escape. The SC said
that the jail guard could only fire at the prisoner in self defense or if absolutely necessary to avoid his
escape.
