(2014) 225 Cal.App.4th 1495, 1518.) We review the whole record in the light most favorable to the judgment below to determine whether it discloses substantial evidencethat is, evidence which is reasonable, credible and of solid valuesuch that a reasonable trier of fact could find a defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
