What is the standard of review in the context of a motion for review in a sexual assault case-in-chief?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Vizcarra, G050644 (Cal. App. 2016):

1. Appellant targets both the sufficiency of the evidence at the end of the prosecution's case-in-chief, which he challenged via a motion for acquittal, and the sufficiency of the evidence to support the jury's verdict. Our standard of review is the same in both contexts: We do not determine the facts ourselves but simply examine the record in the light most favorable to the judgment to ascertain whether it discloses substantial evidence from which a reasonable trier of fact could find the defendant guilty. (People v. Hajek (2014) 58 Cal.4th 1144, 1182-1183.)
