| A perusal of the records will not yield any trace of bias in the testimony of Ricky Ramos. In fact, when asked if he was sure of his identification of the two accused, considering the gravity of the crime charged against them, he categorically replied that "[he] can stand on [his] words."[58] It is contrary to human nature for a witness to finger innocent persons as the perpetrators of a very serious crime.[59] Thus, absent any showing that there was any ill motive on the part of Ricky Ramos, his categorical, consistent, and positive identification deserves full weight and credit. | |||||

| Appellant's defense consisted merely of alibi. To prosper, alibi must meet strictly the requirements of time and place,[65] meaning that the accused was not at the scene of the crime at the time it was committed, and that it was physically impossible for the accused to have been at the scene of the crime at the time of its commission.[66] | |||||
