9 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Stoves v. State · Woods v. State“"`The weight of the evidence is clearly a different matter from the sufficiency of the evidence. The sufficiency of the evidence concerns the question of whether, "viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, [a] rational fact finder could have found the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt." "`In contrast, "the ` weight of the evidence' refers to a `determination [by] the trier of fact that a greater amount of credible evidence supports one side of an issue or cause than the other.'" We have repeatedly held that it is not the province of this court to reweigh the evidence presented at trial. "`The credibility of witnesses and the weight or probative force of testimony is for the jury to judge and determine.'"'"”
