The following excerpt is from People v. Dedios, 2d Crim. No. B288628 (Cal. App. 2018):
Appellant contends the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction for making criminal threats ( 422). In reviewing this contention, "'we review the entire record in the light most favorable to the judgment to determine whether it contains substantial evidencethat is, evidence that is reasonable, credible, and of solid valuefrom which a reasonable trier of fact could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.' [Citation.]" (People v. Avila (2009) 46 Cal.4th 680, 701 (Avila).) We draw all reasonable inferences in favor of the verdict and presume the existence of every fact the jury could reasonably deduce from the evidence that supports its findings. (People v. Maciel (2013) 57 Cal.4th 482, 515.)
