JUSTICE PERALTA:

     CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE: Circumstantial evidence suffices to convict an accused only if the circumstances proved constitute an unbroken chain which leads to one fair and reasonable conclusion that points to the accused, to the exclusion of all others as the guilty person; the circumstances proved must be consistent with each other, consistent with the hypothesis that the accused is guilty, and at the same time inconsistent with any other hypothesis except that of guilty (PEOPLE VS.  RAMOS [2010], PERALTA, J).
