THE UNITED STATES, PLAINTIFF AND APPELLEE, VS. NICOLAS LACHICA AND ANGEL GUSTILO, DEFENDANTS AND APPELLANTS.
D E C I S I O N
Defendant were convicted of coercion under article 497, Penal Code, and sentenced to two months and one day of arresto mayor and to pay a fine of 325 pesetas, with subsidiary imprisonment. The Attorney-General admits that the evidence is insufficient to establish the commission of the offense, and suggests that the defendants' motion to dismiss should have been granted by the trial court.
