California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Arriaga, A147207 (Cal. App. 2017):
The legal principles applicable to defendant's contention are settled: "Our review of any claim of insufficiency of the evidence is limited. 'In assessing the sufficiency of the evidence, we review the entire record in the light most favorable to the judgment to determine whether it discloses evidence that is reasonable, credible, and of solid value such that a reasonable trier of fact could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. [Citations.] Reversal on this ground is unwarranted unless it appears "that upon no hypothesis whatever is there sufficient substantial evidence to support [the conviction]." [Citation.]' " (People v. Veale (2008) 160 Cal.App.4th 40, 45.) Applying that standard to the record here, we conclude reversal is unwarranted.
