No.

In law and in law enforcement, eyewitness testimony is the weakest form of evidence and must be corroborated by forensic evidence or other eyewitness accounts. Otherwise it merely becomes a game of "he-said, she-said", which is why the reliability and authenticity of the witnesses always has to be called into question.

You can have several people view a crime and all seven will have a different version of the events. Some of them conflicting with other accounts on the most basic levels of who, when and where the crime occurred.

This is not a comment on this case itself, but that's how it is in law. Not having personally seen the purported documents held by ex-Senator Webb and not knowing the other details of the case in-depth, I cannot say whether or not Hubert is innocent or guilty... but I wouldn't be surprised if the trial itself was railroaded for political and publicity reasons.
