Practice question: Probation (PD 968, as amended by RA 10707)

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

An otherwise qualified adult receives a maximum of exactly six years. No special disqualification applies. Is that offender excluded solely by Section9(a)'s sentence-length threshold?
  1. Yes; exactly six means more than six.
  2. No; exactly six years does not exceed six, though other requirements still govern.
  3. Yes; every imprisonment term is excluded.
  4. Yes; the victim may redefine the threshold.
  5. No; because application must automatically be granted.
