| Finally, findings of the trial court on the credibility of witnesses deserve great weight, given the clear advantage of a trial judge in the appreciation of testimonial evidence. And when his findings have been affirmed by the Court of Appeals, these are generally binding and conclusive upon this Court.[26] Significantly, accused-appellant has not imputed any ill motive to the prosecution witnesses for testifying against him. Absent any evidence to show a doubtful reason or an improper motive why a prosecution witness would testify against the accused or falsely implicate him in a crime, the said testimony is trustworthy and should be accorded full faith and credit. | |||||
