Can a rational jury find the essential elements of robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery beyond a reasonable doubt?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Tillett, B292235 (Cal. App. 2019):
A rational jury could have found the essential elements of robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery, rather than burglary, beyond a reasonable doubt. The jury drew logical inferences from this circumstantial evidence, and we accept those inferences. (People v. Maury, supra, 30 Cal.4th at p. 396.)
Substantial evidence supports the gang enhancements for each count.
The question is whether a rational jury could have found the essential elements of the gang enhancements beyond a reasonable doubt. (People v. Vy (2004) 122 Cal.App.4th 1209, 1224.)
