| "The overriding consideration is not whether the court doubts the innocence of the accused but whether it entertains a reasonable doubt as to his guilt. If there exist even one iota of doubt, this Court is 'under a long standing legal injunction to resolve the doubt in favor of herein accused-petitioner.'"[30] "Any doubt shall be resolved in favor of the accused."[31] | |||||
