““A conflict in the testimony constitutes a question for the jury and where there is competent evidence upon which the jury can base their verdict it will not be disturbed by this Court because there is a conflict in the testimony.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Yarbrough v. State · Enoch v. State““The jury trial is the basis for our judicial system in this country.

This Court has never interfered where there is sufficient evidence to sustain the verdict.””
