"In deciding whether there is substantial evidence of a lesser offense, courts should not evaluate the credibility of witnesses, a task for the jury." (People v. Breverman, supra, 19 Cal.4th at p. 162.) "On appeal, we apply a de novo standard of review." (People v. Manriquez, supra, 37 Cal.4th at p. 581.)
