MODESTO “MOODY” MABUNGA v. PEOPLE

This case has been cited 1 times or more.

2006-06-20
QUISUMBING, J.
The prosecution and the defense relied on the testimonies of their respective witnesses.  We have consistently ruled that on matters involving the credibility of witnesses, the trial court is in the best position to assess the credibility of witnesses since it has observed firsthand their demeanor, conduct and attitude under grilling examination.[10]  Absent any showing of a fact or circumstance of weight and influence which would appear to have been overlooked and, if considered, could affect the outcome of the case, the factual findings and assessment on the credibility of a witness made by the trial court remain binding on an appellate tribunal.[11]
