MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from United States v. Hoke, 13-615 (2nd Cir. 2014):

sufficiency of trial evidence bears a heavy burden, and the reviewing court must view the evidence presented in the light most favorable to the government and draw all reasonable inferences in the government's favor." United States v. Gagliardi, 506 F.3d 140, 149 (2d Cir. 2007) (internal quotation marks omitted). "The jury's verdict will be affirmed unless no rational trier of fact could have found all of the elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt." Id. at 149-50 (internal quotation marks omitted).
