Evidence is weighed by the fact finder, either the judge or jury, to determine what the facts are. For example, imagine a car accident at an intersection with a stoplight. Car A was turning left, switching from north to west, and was t-boned by a Car B going straight east The driver of Car A said he had a green arrow. The driver of car B said he had a yellow light. A witness said it was a red arrow for car A, and green light for car B. The fact finder then weighs the credibility of this testimony, and any other evidence, and decides what happened.
