In People v. Golden (1961) 55 Cal.2d 358, the defendant, convicted of rape, argued that the victim's testimony was inherently improbable. Although the court acknowledged that the victim's testimony was uncertain and inconsistent, it also recognized that "'evidence which is unusual or inconsistent is not necessarily improbable.' " ( Id., at p. 365.) The court therefore concluded that the record amply suggested credible explanations for the victim's apparent inconsistencies in her testimony.
