MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Diaz-Cardenas, 351 F.3d 404 (9th Cir. 2003):
We review the question whether sufficient evidence exists to support appellant's convictions de novo. United States v. Garcia-Paz, 282 F.3d 1212, 1217 (9th Cir.2002). There is sufficient evidence to support a conviction if viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt.
