PEOPLE v. WENCESLAO DERI y BENITEZ

This case has been cited 1 times or more.

SERENO, J.
We have ruled that owing to the nature of the offense, rape is usually a crime bereft of witnesses, and, in many cases, the only evidence is the testimony of the offended party herself.[67] As long as her testimony passes the test of credibility, she says all that is necessary to show that the offense has been committed, and the court may convict the accused on that basis.[68]
