| This Court disagrees with Del Prado's observations. There is no standard form of human behavioral response when confronted with a frightful experience.[5] Not every witness to a crime can be expected to act reasonably and conformably with the expectations of mankind,[6] because witnessing a crime is an unusual experience that elicit different reactions from witnesses, and for which no clear-cut, standard form of behavior can be drawn.[7] In the case at bar, it was not even unusual for Hudo's unarmed companions to refrain from risking their lives to defend him when the assailants were brandishing a foot-long knife, a baseball bat and a 6x8-inch stone. | |||||
