A case I was a juror on, all of the witnesses were suspect. One was straight up lying I found out from the defense attorney a year later at a bar (he and the prosecutor didn't want to deal with a purjury charge for the so the defense attourney gave the prosecutor an obvious hole in the testimony to go after immediately). They were all drunk and high as hell.
At the end of the day the one dude still hit his friend with his truck and threw him at least 10 feet across a wide sidewalk and into a wrought iron fence hard enough to partially impale him. Everyone agreed that the one guy was driving, and that the other guy was hit. The only real evidence was how injured the victim was. It was completely open and shut. There was plenty of supposed nuance. None of it mattered. Still drunken assault with a deadly weapon.
