MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Smith, 46 F.3d 1148 (9th Cir. 1994):
Smith contends that the government produced insufficient evidence to support his convictions. Evidence is sufficient if, when reviewed in the light most favorable to the government, a rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. United States v. Lennick, 18 F.3d 814, 818 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, U.S. , 115 S.Ct. 162 (1994).
