Practice question
Robbers deliberately select one jewelry courier days in advance and attack only that courier on a highway. No plan to prey indiscriminately on highway travelers is proved. Under Puno, which is best?
- Every road robbery is automatically PD532 brigandage
- The use of a vehicle proves indiscriminate targeting
- Only the victim’s wealth controls
- The targeted robbery cannot be punished under any law
- Highway location alone does not establish PD532 brigandage; the appropriate ordinary robbery offense must be considered
