California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. MORRIS, C060358, No. SF108255A (Cal. App. 2010):
In my view, the evidence is also sufficient to support the jury's finding that defendant knew or reasonably should have known that the victim of his crime was developmentally disabled. (People v. Prince (2007) 40 Cal.4th 1179, 1251 [in assessing the sufficiency of the evidence, we presume in support of the judgment the existence of every fact that the trier of fact could reasonably deduce from the evidence].)
