United States Seventh Circuit

A preponderance of the evidence is all that is required for a factual finding under the Sentencing Guidelines. Witness testimony will only be incredible, as a matter of law, if it is impossible for the witness to have possessed the information to which he or she testified, or when the testimony defies the laws of nature.
