CARPIO MORALES, J. |
||||
| The rule in this jurisdiction is that the testimony of a self-confessed accomplice or co-conspirator imputing the blame to or implicating his co-accused cannot, by itself and without corroboration, be regarded as proof to a moral certainty that the latter committed or participated in the commission of the crime. The testimony must be substantially corroborated in its material points[71] by unimpeachable testimony and strong circumstances and must be to such an extent that its trustworthiness becomes manifest.[72] | |||||
