'As had so often been said, questions as to the weight and sufficiency of the evidence, the construction to be put upon it, the inferences to be drawn therefrom, the credibility of witnesses commensurate with their conduct and manner of testifying, and the determination of conflicts and inconsistencies in their testimony are matters for the trial court to resolve.' Thompson v. City of Long Beach, 41 Cal.2d 235, 246, 259 P.2d 649, 655.
