offense of SIMPLE THEFT under Art. 308 of the Revised Penal Code,

That Accused also prays that the circumstance of plea of guilt
and extreme poverty and necessity be appreciated in his favor in the
imposition of the penalty;
Thus, in People vs. Macbul, G.R. No. L-48976, October 11, 1943,
the trial court considered extreme poverty and necessity as a
mitigating circumstance falling within Article 13 par. 10 of the Revised
Penal Code, which authorizes the court to consider in favor of an
accused "any other circumstance of a similar nature and analogous to those
above mentioned”.
Accused respectfully and humbly prays that should his offer be
given due course, the penalty imposed upon him is within the range
of prision correccional, minimum period or from 6 months and 1 day
to 2 years and 4 months;
WHEREFORE, it is most respectfully prayed that the offer to
plead guilty to a lesser offense be given due course and that the penalty
to be imposed upon the accused is within the range of prision
correccional, minimum period or from 6 months and 1 day to 2 years
and 4 months.
