California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Paigly, H035692 (Cal. App. 2014):
In this case, circumstantial evidence and the reasonable inferences drawn from that evidence were sufficient to prove the specific intent elements of a conspiracy to commit a violation of former section 245, subdivision (a)(1), and support the jury's finding that Paigly violated section 186.22, subdivision (a). "Where the circumstances reasonably justify the trier of fact's findings, a reviewing court's conclusion the circumstances might also reasonably be reconciled with a contrary finding does not warrant the judgment's reversal. [Citation.]" (People v. Zamudio (2008) 43 Cal.4th 327, 358.)
The judgment is affirmed.
