Oliver, J.
(dissenting) — I respectfully dissent.
The majority opinion implies the decision of the trial court was based solely upon a finding of insufficient believable corroboration. However, the judgment states, in part:
“The court is convinced that both the plaintiff and defendant have failed to establish the grounds for divorce as alleged, and especially with respect to the issues that his or her health was impaired and his or her life was thereby endangered by cruelty or inhuman treatment of the other such as to endanger the other’s life or that there was a reasonable apprehension that either the life of the plaintiff or the defendant would be endangered by cohabitation with the other party, primarily because the testimony of both the plaintiff and defendant is unconvincing.”
The printed record leaves one in doubt as to the facts. The trial court saw and heard the witnesses. I would follow its findings and affirm the judgment.
