What is the burden of proving that there is insufficient evidence to convict defendant Toffler?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Moskowitz, 888 F.2d 223 (2nd Cir. 1989):
Toffler has not carried his "very heavy burden" of showing that the proof was insufficient to convict him. See United States v. Nusraty, 867 F.2d 759, 762 (2d Cir.1989) (citations omitted). We have no hesitation in saying that "any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt," Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 319, 99 S.Ct. 2781, 2789, 61 L.Ed.2d 560 (1979) (emphasis in original).
