1. “Our standard of review in a bench-tried case is the same as in a jury-tried case; When considering the sufficiency of the evidence on appeal, this Court must determine whether sufficient evidence permits a reasonable juror to find guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. This Court must consider the evidence, together with all reasonable inferences drawn therefrom, in the light most favorable to- the verdict, while disregarding all inferences to the contrary. Evert if the evidence would support two ' equally valid inferences, only- the infer.ence that supports the finding of guilt can be considered. The reliability, credibility, and weight of witness testimony are for the fact-finder to determine. It is within the fact-finder’s province to believe all, some, or none of the witness’s testimony in arriving at its decision.”
