The following excerpt is from People v. Cayetano, G049254 (Cal. App. 2014):
guilty plea also informed defendant of the potential adverse immigration consequences. In denying the motion to vacate the conviction, the trial judge expressly rejected defendant's claim he lacked sufficient comprehension of English to understand the contents of the advisement and waiver of rights form. "We presume in support of the judgment the existence of every fact the trier of fact reasonably could infer from the evidence," and "neither reweigh[ the] evidence nor reevaluate[] a witness's credibility." (People v. Lindberg (2008) 45 Cal.4th 1, 27.) "If the circumstances reasonably justify the trier of fact's findings, reversal of the judgment is not warranted simply because the circumstances might also reasonably be reconciled with a contrary finding." (Ibid.)
