In addition, Robles was charged with the possession of a loaded .25 caliber pistol. The former Mexican Military officer pleaded guilty to both the gun and ammunition charges and was sentenced to two years each to be served concurrently. The counterfeit charges were dismissed against him. But in an effort to slip through a loophole in the law, Robles applied immediately for bail on the gun charges. He got it, but police held unto him.

After both public outcry and grave concerns expressed about the controversial rulings, the DPP applied to the Supreme court for a review of the lower court's rulings. Today, as a result of that appeal by the DPP, the Supreme Court handed down its ruling on the firearm and ammunition charges and increased Robles' sentencing from two to five years for each count, with the stipulation that the sentences are to run concurrently.

Robles' sentencing according to court guidelines should have reflected the new law on the books which dictate a minimum sentence of 5 years for the charges of firearms and ammunitions possession.
