| To be sure, the identification of appellant as the assailant in this case cannot in any way be considered positive and credible.[32] It is a settled rule that when the identification is doubtful, inconclusive or unreliable, an acquittal is called for.[33] The doubtful identification of the accused herein, when taken with the absence of any other evidence showing his guilt, justifies his acquittal.[34] | |||||

| Accused-appellant has a point and it is valid. His conviction indeed rests on quicksand. While factual findings of the trial court are entitled to great weight and respect, this case calls for a departure from the general rule. Easily, it can be said that the trial court has overlooked certain facts of substance and value that if considered would have altered the result of the case.[6] | |||||
