California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from In re T.P., B194573 (Cal. App. 10/31/2007), B194573 (Cal. App. 2007):
It is the exclusive province of the trial court or jury to weigh the evidence or evaluate the credibility of the witnesses. (People v. Ochoa (1993) 6 Cal.4th 1199, 1206.) We conclude the evidence was sufficient to support the conviction and appellant's attempt to have us reweigh the evidence fails.
