'sufficiency of the evidence' standard of review is the same in cases in which the People rely mainly on circumstantial evidence. [Citations.] '"'"If the circumstances reasonably justify the trier of facts findings, the opinion of the reviewing court that the circumstances might also reasonably be reconciled with a contrary finding does not warrant a reversal of the judgment."'
