ESSAY
1. To secure the release of his brother Willy, a detention prisoner, and his cousin Vincent, who is
serving sentence for homicide, Chito asked the RTC Branch Clerk of Court to issue an Order
which would allow the two prisoners to be brought out of jail. At first, the Clerk refused, but when
Chito gave her P50,000.00, she consented. She then prepared an Order requiring the appearance
in court of Willy and Vincent, ostensibly as witnesses in a pending case. She forged the judge’s
signature, and delivered the Order to the jail warden who, in turn, allowed Willy and Vincent to go
out of jail in the company of an armed escort, Edwin. Chito also gave Edwin P50,000.00 to leave
the two inmates unguarded for three minutes and provide them with an opportunity to escape.
Thus, Willy and Vincent were able to escape. What crime or crimes, if any, had been committed
by Willy, Vincent, and the jail warden? Explain your answer. (7%)
