Keeler polygraph

model 6338
Keeler Polygraph Model 6338
shown here was the first 'Plethysmic
Polygraph' manufactured by 'Associated
Research' of Chicago, Illinois in the early
1950's. This instrument is the first in the
'Pacesetter Series' which incorporated for the
first time a integral photo/optical
plethysmograph.
The Model 6338 was introduced as a four
channel instrument, which recorded
simultaneously changes in relative blood
pressure, heart rate, pulse wave amplitude,
blood volume, oxygenation of the blood,
respiration and electrical skin resistance.
These reading are obtained by utilizing
electronic and pneumatic monitoring.
The 6338 required a 115 volt AC current. It
weighs twenty-four pounds and is 18" x 11"
x 6". The 6338 incorporated newly
designed printed circuits, and a new inking
system where the pens are fed from
removable, individually capped ink bottles
with colored ink available. The newly
designed vent valves have a positive lock to
prevent leaks
PEOPLE OF THE
PHILIPPINES, plaintiff-
appellee,
vs.
AMADO DANIEL alias "AMADO
ATO", accused-appellant.
This case originated from the Court of
First Instance of Baguio City by virtue of
a complaint filed by 13-year old
Margarita Paleng accusing Amado Daniel
alias "Amado Ato" of rape alleged to
have been committed as follows:
That on or about the 20th day of
September, 1965, in the City of Baguio,
Philippines, and within the jurisdiction
of this Honorable Court, the herein
accused, armed with a sharp
instrument and by means of force and
intimidation,
did then and there willfully, unlawfully
and feloniously have carnal knowledge
of the undersignedcomplaint, against
her will, and in her own room situated at
No. 25 Interior, Pinsao, Guisad, Baguio
City
That in the commission of the crime,
the aggravating circumstance that it
was committed in the dwelling of the
offended party, the latter not having
givenprovocation for it, is present.
(p. 1, CFI record)
The trial court, presided then by Hon.
Feliciano Belmonte, after due trial rendered
its decision on May 30, 1966, finding the
accused guilty and sentencing him to suffer
"not more than TWELVE (12) YEARS and ONE
DAY of reclusion temporal and not less than
SIX (6) YEARS and ONE DAY of prision mayor,
and to pay the costs."
His motion for reconsideration and new
trial having been denied, accused filed a
notice of appeal; forthwith the case was
forwarded to the Court of Appeals.
On September 23, 1974, the Court of
Appeals through its Tenth Division
rendered a decision the dispositive
portion of which follows:
PREMISES CONSIDERED, We find that the
guilt of the accused Amado Daniel has been
proven beyond reasonable doubt, and he
should accordingly suffer the penalty for the
crime herein charged.
We find, however, that the sentence
imposed the accused in the judgment
appealed from is not in accordance with law.
Republic Act No. 4111, which took effect on June
20, 1964, amended Article 335 of the Revised
Penal Code, providing that
The crime of rape shall be punished by
reclusion perpetua.
Whenever the crime of rape is committed with
the use of a deadly weapon or by two or more
persons, the penalty shall be reclusion
perpetua to death

Judiciary Act of 1948 (Republic Act No. 296,
as amended)

jurisdiction to review, revise, reverse,
modify or affirm on appeal, as the law or
rules of court may provide, final judgments
and decrees of inferior courts as herein
provided, in
(1) All criminal cases involving
offenses for which the penalty
imposed is death or life imprisonment;
...
WHEREFORE, We hereby certify this
case to the Supreme Court for
appropriate further proceedings
pursuant to law.
By virtue of the foregoing decision
of the Court of Appeals the case
was certified to this Court and in a
Resolution of March 6, 1975, the
