Practice question
An accused seeks quashal solely because more than one year passed from posting, attaches no evidence establishing relevant discovery, and invokes pro reo as a substitute for that factual basis. Which is best under Causing?
- The favorable one-year rule does not alone establish prescription from an unsupported assumed discovery date.
- Lenity conclusively proves every factual allegation.
- The Court must presume immediate reading of all posts.
- Every cyber-libel charge is automatically prescribed upon filing.
- A favorable period makes evidence categorically irrelevant.
