PER CURIAM |
||||
| While it may be true that the crime took place in a dark area, this does not prevent the identification of the criminals. As testified to by Alexis, vehicles were passing by, providing light to the area.[27] We have held that wicklamps, flashlight, even moonlight and starlight may, in proper situations, be sufficient illumination, making the attack on the credibility of witnesses solely on this ground unmeritorious.[28] In People v. Gamboa,[29] and in People v. Pueblos,[30] this Court ruled that the light of the moon is sufficient for a person to identify another. In People v. Vacal,[31] the light of the stars may provide fair visibility. Thus, we see no reason to reject the identification made by the complainants in this case. | |||||
