| Certain minor variances in the details of a witness' account, more frequently than not, can be badges of truth rather than indicia of falsehood and they often bolster the probative value of the testimony.[40] Furthermore, it must be pointed out that "[E]ven where a witness has been found to have deliberately falsified the truth in some particulars, it is not required that the whole of his testimony be rejected.[41] The testimony of a witness may be believed in part and disbelieved in part, depending upon the corroborative evidence and the probabilities and improbabilities of the case."[42] | |||||
