1 later decision quote this exact passage“In reviewing the findings of fact of a trial court * * * this court is subject to the rule that such findings shall not be disturbed if supported by substantial evidence. Substantial evidence is relevant evidence that a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion. This court is bound to view the evidence in the light most favorable to support the trial court’s findings, and to disregard all evidence unfavorable to that finding. It is for the trier of fact to weigh the testimony, determine the credibility of the witnesses, reconcile inconsistent statements of the witnesses, and determine where the truth lies. The appellate court may not reweigh the evidence nor substitute its judgment for that of the trier of fact.”
