Question 20
20. Rene and Sebastian, who are bitter enemies, engaged in a gunfight. In the ensuing
battle, Rene killed Sebastian with a shot to the head. In the criminal case for
Murder filed against Rene, the heirs of Sebastian failed to establish funeral
expenses due to the inadequacy of the evidence. Still, the trial court awarded
temperate damages to the heirs, declaring that it cannot close its eyes to the fact
that the heirs of Sebastian indeed incurred funeral expenses. Is the award
proper? Discuss.
