	GR No. 176154 2007-10-05	PEOPLE v. MARCELINO PAREDES Y ALGARA GARCIA, J.
For one, the decisive rule in criminal law is that when inculpatory facts and circumstances are capable of two or more explanations, one of which is consistent with innocence and the other with guilt, then the evidence does not pass the test of moral certainty and is not sufficient to support a conviction.[34]
	GR No. 136849 2003-10-23	PEOPLE v. NESTOR CODERES Y ABLAZA AUSTRIA-MARTINEZ, J.
In a criminal case, every circumstance or evidence favoring a man's innocence must be taken into account. If the inculpatory facts and circumstances are capable of two or more interpretations, one of which is consistent with innocence and the other with guilt, then the evidence does not pass the test of moral certainty and is not sufficient to support a conviction.[18] Thus, the presumption of innocence founded on the basic principle of justice as embodied in our Constitution prevails in the present case.
