• holding that the Court must give deference to the fact finder’s determination of credibility unless it is “unbelievable”
• holding that the defendant had consented to the officers’ entry by yielding the right-of-way at his door
• holding that deference is owed to the trial court’s credibility determination, since it is in “a better position than a reviewing court to assess the credibility of witnesses”
• concluding that the district court’s credibility determination was reasonable because it “t[ook] into account the interests of the witnesses, the consistencies or inconsistences in their testimonies, and their demeanor on the stand”
• indicating that the extent of an individual’s cooperation with law enforcement is a factor to consider when determining whether the individual’s consent was coerced
