Rape and Homicide Case of Juaniña Antolin

The decomposed body of 9-year old Juaniña Antolin was found naked with her shirt pulled up and panties stuffed in her mouth. She had head injuries and a vaginal laceration. The defendant was identified by a witness as the last person seen with the victim. At the police station, the defendant admitted to being with the girl but said he was too drunk to remember what happened. However, the admission was ruled inadmissible because the defendant was not informed of his constitutional rights prior to questioning. Due to the violation of his rights, the court acquitted the defendant.
