| The prosecution neither discredited these witnesses nor attributed any ill motive against them to make them lie in their testimony. A witness' testimony cannot be stripped of full faith and credit simply on account of his relationship to the parties,[38] as in the instant case. Relationship can put the testimony of a witness in doubt, but it cannot adversely affect credibility by itself.[39] Mere relationship does not necessarily impair the credibility of a witness.[40] The testimony of these witnesses regarding what actually transpired on that fateful night remained unrebutted. | |||||
