Syllabus

The decision whether, and to what extent, to credit the testimony of particular witnesses is within the peculiar competence of the factfinder, who has seen and heard the witness. As the trier of fact, the jury was free to believe or disbelieve all, part, or none of the testimony of the witnesses presented at trial. Inconsistencies in the evidence alone do not mean that a decision is against the manifest weight of the evidence. Such inconsistencies in the testimony of a single witness alone do not require that the jury's verdict be reversed as against the manifest weight of the evidence.
