The following excerpt is from People v. Brown, 172 Cal.Rptr.3d 576, 326 P.3d 188, 59 Cal.4th 86 (Cal. 2014):
Defendant argues at length that witnesses testifying about these statements were untrustworthy, had given inconsistent statements, had delayed reporting, and were drug users. The jury heard the direct testimony and extensive cross-examination of each witness. It heard evidence from rebuttal witnesses. The credibility question was vigorously argued. The final determination as to the weight of the evidence is for the jury to make. We do not reweigh it and substitute our view for theirs. (See People v. Lee (2011) 51 Cal.4th 620, 632, 122 Cal.Rptr.3d 117, 248 P.3d 651;Evid.Code, 312.)
