The following excerpt is from People v. Barrett, E055032 (Cal. App. 2013):

In short, defendant's argument turns the standard of review on its headshe merely presents the evidence in the light most favorable to her own position rather than the light most favorable to the jury's verdict. (People v. Cravens, supra, 53 Cal.4th at pp. 507-508.)

We conclude substantial evidence supports defendant's conviction.
