vs.
FELIPE SANTIAGO, Defendant-Appellant.
STREET, J.:
FACTS:
ISSUE:
RULING:
No.
The evidence failed to show beyond reasonable doubt that the crime was
committed in isolation. It is the instant doctrine of the court that an aggravating
circumstance must be as clearly proved as any other element of the crime and in the
case at bar, the place of the commission of this offense was not remote enough from
habitation or possible aid to make appropriate the estimation of the aggravating
circumstance.
