    Romulo Villa v.

    Junel Anthony Ama


    Bar Matter No. 674 June 14, 2005

    Facts:

    The petitioner, along with other members of the Aquila Legis Fraternity of the Ateneo de Manila
    School of Law, was implicated and criminally charged for the death of Jose Leonardo “Lenny”
    Villa. Romulo Villa, the victim’s father, filed a petition with the Court praying that the petitioner
    be disallowed from the taking the Lawyer’s Oath and from signing the Roll of Attorney’s pending
    final judgment in the criminal cases filed against him. Eventually, the MTC rendered its decision
    and acquitted the petitioner. On the other hand, the RTC, in its Decision, found the petitioner
    guilty of homicide through conspiracy. However, on appeal with the CA, it set aside the RTC’s
    finding of conspiracy and found him guilty of slight physical injuries only.

    Issue/s:

    May petitioner be allowed to take the Lawyer’s Oath and sign the Roll of Attorneys?

    Held:

    The crime for which the petitioner was convicted – slight physical injuries – is after all, a light
    offense, and cannot be considered a grave violation of the moral sentiment of the community or
    done in the spirit of cruelty, hostility, or revenge; certainly not a crime involving moral turpitude.
