The following excerpt is from People v. Ocampo, G047321 (Cal. App. 2014):
In our review we "'presume[] in support of the judgment the existence of every fact the trier could reasonably deduce from the evidence.' [Citation.] 'This standard applies whether direct or circumstantial evidence is involved.' [ Citation.]" (People v. Avila (2009) 46 Cal.4th 680, 701.) Circumstantial evidence and the reasonable inferences drawn therefrom are sufficient to support the judgment. (People v. Lopez (2013) 56 Cal.4th 1028, 1069.)
