An affirmative testimony is far stronger than a
negative testimony especially when the former comes from the mouth of a
credible witness. Denial, same as an alibi, if not substantiated by
clear and convincing evidence, is negative and self-serving evidence
undeserving of weight in law. It is considered with suspicion and
always received with caution, not only because it is inherently weak and
unreliable but also because it is easily fabricated and concocted.
