CARPIO MORALES, J. |
||||
| Petitioners at all events argue that their written statements were obtained through deceit, promise, trickery and scheme, they claiming that Lily dictated to them their contents. There is nothing on record, however, buttressing petitioners' claim other than their self-serving assertion. The presumption that no person of normal mind would deliberately and knowingly confess to a crime unless prompted by truth and conscience[35] such that it is presumed to be voluntary until the contrary is proved thus stands.[36] | |||||
