Jurors must decide that something did or didn’t happen based on the credibility of the live speaker’s performed narrative tested against similar but conflicting narratives. Credibility depends on the apparent truthfulness of the speaker, which may have more to do with acting ability, articulateness, and personality traits than with honesty. It also depends on the believability of the narrative itself, and here “literary” qualities like consistency, coherence, and persuasive rendering of detail often carry the day. (Korobkin, 1998)
