The witness’s “bias, interest or motive” is relevant in determining the credibility of testimony. (State of California (Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation) (2012) PERB Decision No. 2285-S, p. 10, fn. 15, citing Evid. Code, § 780.) The “existence or nonexistence of facts testified to” also is a relevant factor in determining the credibility of witness testimony. (Ibid.)
