Say for example, what is inherent in certain crimes? Well, naturally in cases of

estafa there is evident of pre meditation. In rape there is always present most of

the time even if they are inherent in the commission of the crime it cannot be

considered as aggravating even in a mitigating circumstance. There is in some

cases that we have discovered that in inherent mitigating circumstances,

although they are inherent mitigating circumstances. They are not considered asmodifying circumstances. In a case of rape but the offender shall we call it a or

he has a physical defect is inherent and is mitigating but would it be a modifying

or mitigating circumstance in the crime of rape? If he is not. Naturally, it is not

but it is aggravating if the person committing this is the crime committed during

the time..
