It is not the role of appellate courts to second‑guess the weight to be assigned to the various items of evidence. Absent palpable and overriding error — that is, absent an error that is plainly seen and has affected the result — an appellate court may not upset a fact‑finder's findings of fact.

If the judge had no jurisdiction to make the finding of fact to begin with - lights out !
Jurisdiction is always the king of legal error. You can not decide that which you have
no jurisdiction to decide.
