| We find no indication from the records that the Sandiganbayan acted arbitrarily, capriciously and whimsically in arriving at its verdict of acquittal. The settled rule is that conviction ensues only if every element of the crime was alleged and proved.[29] In this case, Ysidoro was acquitted by the Sandiganbayan for two reasons: first, his bad faith (an element of the crime charged) was not sufficiently proven by the prosecution evidence; and second, there was exculpatory evidence of his good faith. | |||||
