21. We apply the traditional standard of review in determining the sufficiency of the evidence: "[T]he reviewing court's task is to review the whole record in the light most favorable to the judgment to determine whether it discloses substantial evidence-that is, evidence that is reasonable, credible, and of solid value-such that a reasonable trier of fact could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. [Citation.]" (People v. Rodriguez, supra, 20 Cal.4th at p. 11.)
