What is the test for determining sufficient evidence to convict a defendant in a federal civil case?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Scott, 452 F.2d 660 (9th Cir. 1972):
The jury having determined the defendant guilty, the sufficiency of the evidence upon which to base such a determination must be viewed in a light favorable to the government. Glasser v. United States, 315 U.S. 60, 62 S.Ct. 457, 86 L.Ed. 680 (1941); United States v. Peterson, 440 F.2d 1345 (9th Cir. 1971). On that basis we find the evidence sufficient.
The judgment is affirmed.
