People v. Alcaide
Supreme Court of Puerto Rico
Appeal from the District Court of Cuayama in a Prosecution for Conspiracy. The facts are stated in the opinion.
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Wole
This was a prosecution for conspiracy wherein a certain number of defendants were convicted and appealed. Of the various errors assigned, the first is that the information does not state a crime, a question duly raised in the trial court by demurrer. Because of this basic error we feel bound to reverse the judgment and hence it will be unnecessary to examine the other errors assigned.
Before examining the information in question it will be well first to examine some of the general principles applicable to informations or indictments for conspiracy.
