DEL CASTILLO, J. |

| Based on these findings and following our precedents in the afore-mentioned cases, we are compelled to reverse the judgment of conviction in this case. Consequently, we need not pass upon the merits of appellant's defense of denial and frame-up. It is a well-entrenched rule in criminal law that the conviction of an accused must be based on the strength of the prosecution's evidence and not on the weakness or absence of evidence of the defense.[37] | |||||
