““This Court has noted that the Hearing Board is in a superior position to resolve factual disputes. The Hearing Board’s findings regarding the credibility of witnesses, the resolution of conflicting testimony, and any other fact-finding judgments are entitled to great deference. [Citation.] This is due to the fact that the Hearing Board is able to observe the witnesses’ demeanor and judge their credibility. [Citation.] Thus, the Hearing Board’s factual determinations will generally not be disturbed unless they are against the manifest weight of the evidence.””
