proximity to the incident; that
she has imperfect vision and
that the dim lighting of the
alley could have not given her
an accurate understanding of
what happened.

Establish high intoxication of Nico Valera and Gary Valera

accused for the plausibility of
mistaking Isabella Soberano
as Benedicta Cruz

Corroborate statement of Stephanie Camposano

mistake of fact of mistaking

Benedicta Cruz through the
statements issued by the
accused upon coming near to
them and the eventual
aggression of victim Sonny
Camposano

Establish how victim Sonny Stephanie Camposano
