JUSTICE PERALTA:

The People may assail a judgment of acquittal only via petition for certiorari under Rule 65 of the Rules.

          If the petition, regardless of its nomenclature, merely calls for an ordinary review of the findings of the court a quo, the constitutional right of the accused against double jeopardy would be violated. (VILLAREAL VS. ALIGA, 2014, PERALTA, J.)
