Is there any discrepancies between the victim's version of events and the video of the crime?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Woods, B239866 (Cal. App. 2013):

Although it is true that there were discrepancies between the victim's version of events and the video of the crime, such as what the robber was wearing, it was for the jury to weigh their significance. "Even when there is a significant amount of countervailing evidence, the testimony of a single witness that satisfies the standard is sufficient to uphold the finding." (People v. Barnwell (2007) 41 Cal.4th 1038, 1052.) The victim's testimony was more than ample to sustain defendant's conviction.
