contrariety ,
and evident opposition of two ideas ,
which are the subject of one and the same proposition .
2 .
In general ,
when a party accused of a crime contradicts himself ,
it is presumed he does so because he is guilty for truth does not contradict itself ,
and is always consistent ,
whereas falsehood is in general inconsistent and the truth of some known facts will contradict the falsehood of those which are falsely alleged to be true .
But there must still be much caution used by the judge ,
as there may be sometimes apparent contradictions which arise either from the timidity ,
the ignorance ,
or the inability of the party to explain himself ,
when in fact he tells the truth .
3 .
When a witness contradicts himself as to something which is important in the case ,
his testimony will be much weakened ,
or it may be entirely discredited and when he relates a story of facts which he alleges passed only in his presence ,
and he is contradicted as to other facts which are known to others ,
his credit will be much impaired .
4 .
When two witnesses ,
or other persons ,
state things directly opposed to each other ,
it is the duty of the judge or jury to reconcile these apparent contradictions ;
but when this cannot be done ,
the more improbable statement must be rejected ;
or ,
if both are entitled to the same credit ,
then the matter is as if no proof had been given .
