Kienitz, 227 Wis.2d at 434, 597 N.W.2d 712 (citation, formatting, some punctuation, and two sets of brackets omitted). Moreover, “[o]nly when the evidence is inherently or patently incredible will we substitute our judgment for that of the factfinder.” State v. Saunders, 196 Wis.2d 45, 54, 538 N.W.2d 546 (Ct.App.1995). The testimony of a single expert witness who is not inherently incredible or incredible as a matter of law is sufficient to sustain a verdict that an individual is a sexually violent person. See State v. Lombard, 2003 WI App 163, ¶¶ 20–22, 266 Wis.2d 887, 669 N.W.2d 157.
