The substantial evidence standard of review also applies when the prosecution's case is based on circumstantial evidence: " ' "Although it is the duty of the jury to acquit a defendant if it finds that circumstantial evidence is susceptible of two interpretations, one of which suggests guilt and the other innocence [citations], it is the jury, not the appellate court[,] which must be convinced of the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

' " ' " (People v. Lucero (2019) 41 Cal.App.4th 370, 414.)
