State v. Johnson

Court of Appeals of Washington

Decided May 18, 1970No. 145-40735-2Published

1Per curiam

Defendant appeals from the conviction of grand larceny. His sole assignment of error challenges the credibility of the complaining witness. It is not our function to reevaluate the credibility of witnesses. The credibility and weight to be attached to the testimony of witnesses is for the trier of fact and not an appellate court. State v. Hoffman, 64 Wn.2d 445, 392 P.2d 237 (1964); State v. Bunch, 2 Wn. App. 189, 467 P.2d 212 (1970).

Judgment affirmed.
