How is the substantial evidence standard applied in determining whether a committed offender committed a crime of force or violence against a person?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Daniel, 2d Crim. No. B278894 (Cal. App. 2017):
On review, we consider all the evidence in the light which is most favorable to the People and draw all inferences the trier of fact could reasonably have made in finding the commitment offense was a crime of force or violence against a person. (People v. Clark (2000) 82 Cal.App.4th 1072, 1082 [applying substantial evidence standard of review].) We do not reweigh the evidence or substitute our judgment for that of the trier of fact. (Ibid.)
