According to AAAs account on July 21, 1997, at around 3:00 oclock in the
afternoon, she was inside her rented house together with her two children, aged 1
years old and 9 months old, respectively.
Edwin Isla was standing by the door of her kitchen.
She was poked with a knife and was pulled inside the bedroom Isla warned her that
if she resist she will stab her.
While raping her she stabbed AAA and when she tries to shout for help he stabbed
her again. AAA was taken to the East Avenue Medical Center.
AAA sustained 11 body injuries, 2 which were stab wounds and 6 incised wounds
and 2 contusions.

Issue:
Is there insanity on the part of Isla?

Held:
There is no insanity because on December 17, 2010, the CA denied the appeal and
affirmed the RTC decision which found Isla to have acted with discernment when he
committed the crimes. According to CA, Isla exactly knew that what he was doing
was evil so much so that he had to employ cunning means, by discreetly closing the
windows, and the door of house and by resorting to threats and violence, to ensure
the consummation of his dastardly deed.
