Procedural Antecedents
Counter-Arguments
to the findings of the DOJ
1
accused, Cassandra Araneta, was justified in failing to make
liquidation of the cash advances.
In the case of Lee vs. People (GR. No. 157781, April 11,
2005), the Supreme Court made a pronouncement that demand
is not necessary where there is evidence of misappropriation or
conversion of funds entrusted to the accused. Thus, the
accused may be convicted of the felony under Art. 315, par.
1(b) of the Revised Penal Code if it can be proven that the
accused had misappropriated or converted the money without
the consent of the complainant and to the prejudice of the latter.
2
Based on the judicial affidavit of Mr. Nestor Alfonso
attached in this pleading, the accused was given sufficient time
by the private complainant to account for the funds entrusted to
her. This is established when the twin-notices for valid
termination were furnished to the accused a week after Mr.
Nestor Alfonso made verbal inquiry upon the accused as to the
unaccounted and unliquidated funds given to her.
