The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Pappas, 927 F.2d 612 (9th Cir. 1991):
Pappas emphasizes Hough's inconsistent statements in a prior civil action, and the general lack of credibility in Hough's testimony. However, it is the exclusive function of the jury to "determine the credibility of the witnesses, resolve evidentiary conflicts, and draw reasonable inferences." United States v. Nelson, 419 F.2d 1237, 1241 (9th Cir.1969).
