1. “[W]hen conflicting testimony about factual matters exits [sic], the resolution of which depends upon a determination of the relative credibility of the witnesses, the matter is a question of weight of the evidence, not its sufficiency. State v. Jones , 537 So.2d 1244 , 1249 (La. App. 4th Cir.1989) ; see also Tibbs v. Florida , 457 U.S. 31 , 102 S.Ct. 2211 , 72 L.Ed.2d 652 (1982). Such a determination rests solely with the trier of fact who may accept or reject, in whole or in part, the testimony of any witness. Id. A trier of fact's determination as to the credibility of a witness is a question of fact entitled to great weight, and its determination will not be disturbed unless it is clearly contrary to the evidence. State in the Interest of T.C. , 09-1669 at p. 6, 60 So.3d [1260,]at 1263 [ (La.App. 4 Cir. 2011) ].”
