Jervis and Marlon asked their friend, Jonathan, to help them rob a bank. Jervis and Marlon went inside the bank, but were unable to get any money from the vault because the same was protected by a time-delay mechanism. They contented themselves with the customers’ cellphones and a total of P5,000 in cash. After they dashed out of the bank and rushed into the car, Jonathan pulled the car out of the curb, hitting a pedestrian which resulted in the latter’s death.

Jervis, Marlon, and Jonathan committed Robbery with Homicide. This special complex crime is committed when by reason or on occasion of the robbery, homicide is committed. In the case at bar, the death of the pedestrian was because or on occasion of the robbery committed by the offenders.
Jervis, Marlon, and Jonathan are guilty of the same crime because there is conspiracy between and among them. When Jervis and Marlon asked Jonathan to help them rob a bank, Jervis and Marlon are actually proposing the commission of a felony to Jonathan, and when Jonathan accepted the proposal, conspiracy resulted. Jonathan’s acceptance of the proposal to rob a bank is shown by the fact that he was at the crime scene helping Jervis and Marlon get away.
