This rule reflects the fundamental tenet of American jurisprudence that the jury is the sole trier of fact responsible for determining witness credibility, resolving conflicts in testimony and for drawing any inferences from the proven facts. Pryor v. State, Del. Supr., 453 A.2d 98, 100 (1982). Chao v. State, Del.Supr., 604 A.2d 1351, 1363 (1992) (emphasis added). The evidence presented by the State against Robertson has been recounted in that portion of this decision which considered his claim that his trial should have been severed from that of his co-defendants. The record reflects that there was sufficient evidence to support the guilty verdicts which the jury returned regarding Robertson, when viewed in a light most favorable to the prosecution. Id.
