In any event, it is also evident from the trial court's ruling that the court did not find credible defendant's claim that his life was in jeopardy or that the staff at Delancey Street forced him to leave. We will not second guess credibility determinations made by the trial court. (People v. Ochoa (1993) 6 Cal.4th 1199, 1206.)
