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).
