QUISUMBING, J. |
||||
| As to the finding of conspiracy, we have said time and again that the same degree of proof required for establishing the crime is required to support a finding of conspiracy. Conspiracy, like the crime itself, must be proven beyond reasonable doubt and one's presence in the crime scene does not make an accused a conspirator.[27] Conspiracy transcends mere companionship.[28] Mere knowledge, acquiescence or approval of the act, without cooperation or agreement to cooperate, is not enough to constitute one a party to a conspiracy. Likewise, there must be intentional participation in the transaction with a view to the furtherance of the common design and purpose.[29] | |||||
