where existence of probable cause is challenged, “this Court must determine whether there is substantial evidence in the record supporting the magistrate’s decision”
although not ruling on whether evidence was cumulative, Court noted trial court’s problem with witness’s credibility: ‘“falsus in uno,falsus in omnibus’ (false in one thing, false in everything)”
