[G.R. NO. 198073 : November 23, 2011]
LUCENO JUANICO v. PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES
G.R. No. 198073 (Luceno Juanico v. People of the Philippines).
RESOLUTION
After review of the records, the Court resolves to DENY the petition for failure to show that the Court of Appeals committed reversible error when it upheld the factual finding of the trial court that the prosecution has satisfactorily established petitioner's guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The alleged inconsistencies in the prosecution witnesses' testimonies are not sufficient bases to negate petitioner's culpability as they merely pertain to the narration of events and have nothing to do with the gravamen of the crime.
SO ORDERED.
J. Perlas-Bernabe, on official leave. J. Perez, additional member, per Special Order 1152 dated November 11, 2011.
Very truly yours,
(Sgd.) LUCITA ABJELINA-SORIANO
Division Clerk of Court
