“Both of these parties were interested in the results. Consequently, the jury was not duty bound to accept either party’s testimony as being undisputed. Indeed, a fact question was presented for resolution by the jury. The jury heard the witnesses, observed their demeanor and conduct on the witness stand and, therefore, were in a better position to judge the credibility of the witnesses.”
