After “meticulously” analyzing the testimonies of prosecution witnesses, the court said it concluded that the statements were not enough to establish that there was conspiracy among the accused to commit illegal drug trading and that they in fact committed illegal drug trading. The court said all the testimonies of the nine witnesses did not prove the conspiracy.
“Colanggo’s testimony cannot be used to prove the truth of Sebastian’s statement. While it may be admitted proving the fact that it was uttered or stated by Sebastian, the admission will only be limited to the fact that it was stated or spoken, but not to prove the truth of the matter asserted by the statement,” the court said.
