Conviction of accused must rest, not on weakness of defense, but on strength of prosecution
Dear PAO,My cousin filed a criminal case, which was heard in court but was eventually dismissed. My cousin said that the assailant only presented one witness, while he had several witnesses who testified for him, and he submitted a good number of evidence. So, we really could not understand why or how the case was dismissed.
For better understanding, we wish to impart a pertinent portion of the ruling of the Supreme Court in the case of Capistrano Daayata, Dexter Salisi, and Bregido Malacat, Jr. vs. People of the Philippines , as penned by Associate Justice Marvic M.V.F.
