What is the effect of the trial court's comments that the court relied on evidence that negated self-defense?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from In re Trevor W. v. Trevor W., D058118, Super. Ct. No. J226391 (Cal. App. 2011):

However confusing the trial court's remarks might be, it is clear the court relied on evidence that negated self-defense in this case. The court was entitled to make the credibility determination it made in this case and to give that evidence the weight it deemed appropriate. (People v. Humphrey (1996) 13 Cal.4th 1073, 1088-1089.) The evidence in this record is sufficient to support the true finding.

The judgment is affirmed.
