The following excerpt is from Watson v. Hartley, No. 2: 09-cv-1855 FCD KJN P (E.D. Cal. 2010):
In determining whether the evidence is sufficient to support a conviction, the court must review "the whole record in the light most favorable to the judgment" and decide "whether it discloses substantial evidence... such that a reasonable trier of fact could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt." (People v. Johnson (1980) 26 Cal.3d 557, 578.)
