California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Marx, D071129 (Cal. App. 2017):
Before we determine if the trial court has abused its discretion we look to the facts found by the trial court or its decisions on the credibility of witnesses, even where only one witness testifies. (See People v. Hunt (1985) 174 Cal.App.3d 95, 103.)
