2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Even where the evidence is uncontradicted, the jury may believe all, some, or none of the testimony, and where the credibility of the witness has been questioned, the matter is properly left to the jury to decide: "The fact that evidence is not contradicted by direct evidence does not render it undisputed, as there still remains the question of its inherent probability and the credibility of the witnesses or his interest in the result. ... If there is anything tending to create distrust in his truthfulness, the question must be left to the jury."”
