1. ““In determining the sufficiency of the evidence to support the trial court’s findings on the issue of guilt or innocence, we accept as true all evidence tending to prove appellant’s guilt, together with inferences favorable to the State that can be reasonably drawn therefrom, and we disregard all contrary evidence and inferences. State v. Giffin, 640 S.W.2d 128, 130 [2] (Mo.1982). If there is substantial evidence to support the trial court’s findings, its judgment is to be affirmed. Id. 130 [1].” State v. Brown, 665 S.W.2d 945, 948 (Mo.App.1984). “Conflicts in the evidence, the determination of the credibility of the witnesses and the weight to be given their testimony are within the province of the trier of fact.” State v. Hitchcock, 676 S.W.2d 538, 540 (Mo.App.1984).”
