testified as to the circumstances under which
they were produced. x x x Photographs,
however, can be identified also by any other
competent witness who can testify to its
exactness and accuracy.

witness, even the complainant herself,
testified to its exactness and accuracy.

reasons stated above.
Other reliefs just and equitable are likewise prayed for under the premises.
