What is the test for determining whether a male correctional officer saw him masturbate in front of a female correctional officer?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Bentancourt, F074994 (Cal. App. 2018):

5. Bentancourt contends that one reasonable inference from the evidence was that he did not have the requisite lewd intent and was simply indifferent to a female correctional officer seeing him masturbate. However, "[w]hen two or more inferences can reasonably be deduced from the facts, we do not substitute our deductions for those of the finder of fact. [Citation.] We must affirm if substantial evidence supports the trier of fact's determination, even if other substantial evidence would have supported a different result." (Canister v. Emergency Ambulance Service, Inc. (2008) 160 Cal.App.4th 388, 394.)

6. People v. Watson (1956) 46 Cal.2d 818, 836.
