    Uploaded by

    Elaine Jularbal
    This document discusses admissions and confessions that can be presented as evidence in court cases. It outlines that admissions of a party can be used against them, but offers of compromise cannot be used as evidence of liability. It also discusses when admissions or confessions of third parties, co-partners, conspirators, privies, or through silence can be presented as evidence against the defendant. Finally, it notes that evidence of similar past acts may be used to prove intent, identity, plan, or habit but not to prove the same act was done at a different time.

    Admissions and Confessions

    Section 26. Admission of a party. The act, declaration or omission of a party as to a relevant fact may be given in
    evidence against him. (22)

    Section 27. Offer of compromise not admissible. In civil cases, an offer of compromise is not an admission of any
    liability, and is not admissible in evidence against the offeror.

    In criminal cases, except those involving quasi-offenses (criminal negligence) or those allowed by law to be
    compromised, an offer of compromised by the accused may be received in evidence as an implied admission of guilt.

    A plea of guilty later withdrawn, or an unaccepted offer of a plea of guilty to lesser offense, is not admissible in
    evidence against the accused who made the plea or offer.

    An offer to pay or the payment of medical, hospital or other expenses occasioned by an injury is not admissible in
    evidence as proof of civil or criminal liability for the injury. (24a)

    Section 28. Admission by third party. The rights of a party cannot be prejudiced by an act, declaration, or omission
    of another, except as hereinafter provided. (25a)

    Section 29. Admission by co-partner or agent. The act or declaration of a partner or agent of the party within the
    scope of his authority and during the existence of the partnership or agency, may be given in evidence against such
    party after the partnership or agency is shown by evidence other than such act or declaration. The same rule applies
    to the act or declaration of a joint owner, joint debtor, or other person jointly interested with the party. (26a)

    Section 30. Admission by conspirator. The act or declaration of a conspirator relating to the conspiracy and during
    its existence, may be given in evidence against the co-conspirator after the conspiracy is shown by evidence other
    than such act of declaration. (27)

    Section 31. Admission by privies. Where one derives title to property from another, the act, declaration, or
    omission of the latter, while holding the title, in relation to the property, is evidence against the former. (28)

    Section 32. Admission by silence. An act or declaration made in the presence and within the hearing or
    observation of a party who does or says nothing when the act or declaration is such as naturally to call for action or
    comment if not true, and when proper and possible for him to do so, may be given in evidence against him. (23a)

    Section 33. Confession. The declaration of an accused acknowledging his guilt of the offense charged, or of any
    offense necessarily included therein, may be given in evidence against him. (29a)

    4. Previous Conduct as Evidence

    Section 34. Similar acts as evidence. Evidence that one did or did not do a certain thing at one time is not
    admissible to prove that he did or did not do the same or similar thing at another time; but it may be received to prove
    a specific intent or knowledge; identity, plan, system, scheme, habit, custom or usage, and the like. (48a)

    Section 35. Unaccepted offer. An offer in writing to pay a particular sum of money or to deliver a written instrument
    or specific personal property is, if rejected without valid cause, equivalent to the actual production and tender of the
    money, instrument, or property. (49a)
