The following excerpt is from People v. Rodriguez, G055741 (Cal. App. 2019):
Rodriguez claims there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction based on the victim's "inadequate" testimony. But in a sufficiency of the evidence review, we "'must consider the evidence in a light most favorable to the judgment and presume the existence of every fact the trier could reasonably deduce from the evidence in support of the judgment.'" (People v. Crittenden (1994) 9 Cal.4th 83, 139.) Given that deferential standard of review, we affirm the jury's guilty verdict.
