Question 18
18. On January 31, 2017, A, a 31-year-old male, struck C, a 10-year-old boy, several
times with a broom because A suspected that it was C who scratched his vehicle with
a rock. C sustained serious wounds that eventually caused his death. A was charged
with, and convicted of, murder, qualified by treachery. A moved for reconsideration,
arguing that the prosecution failed to prove that he deliberately adopted the means
employed to ensure the commission of the crime without risk to himself. Is A
correct? Reason(s).
