What is the test for a jury to overturn a jury's finding that the evidence was insufficient to support the jury's verdict?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Nordbrock, 38 F.3d 440 (9th Cir. 1994):
We now consider Nordbrock's argument that the evidence was insufficient to support the jury's verdict. We must let the jury's verdict stand if we find that it is supported by "substantial evidence." Substantial evidence is evidence which reasonable minds might accept as adequate to support a conclusion. Davis v. Mason County, 927 F.2d 1473, 1486 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 112 S.Ct. 275, 116 L.Ed.2d 227 (1991).
