| Well-settled is the rule that bare denials cannot prevail over the positive testimonies of the witnesses.[11] Positive and forthright declarations of witnesses are often held to be worthier of credence than the self-serving denial of an accused.[12] Denial, if unsubstantiated by clear and convincing evidence, is a self-serving assertion that deserves no weight in law.[13] | |||||
