MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Barber, 898 F.2d 157 (9th Cir. 1990):
There is sufficient evidence to support a conviction if, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the government, "any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt." United States v. Adler, 879 F.2d 473, 495 (9th Cir.1988). The government may prove its case by circumstantial evidence and the inferences drawn from that evidence. United States v. Hernandez, 876 F.2d 774, 777 (9th Cir.1989).
