MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Laursen, 847 F.3d 1026 (9th Cir. 2017):
We apply de novo review to the denial of a motion for acquittal predicated on insufficiency of the evidence presented at trial. See United States v. Gonzalez , 528 F.3d 1207, 1211 (9th Cir. 2008). "There is sufficient evidence to support a conviction if, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt...."
