The following excerpt is from People v. Cook, D060594 (Cal. App. 2013):
As noted, we review the entire record in the light most favorable to the judgment to determine whether it contains substantial evidence to support a conviction. " 'The relevant inquiry is whether, after viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People, any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the allegation beyond a reasonable doubt.' " (People v. Lindberg (2008) 45 Cal.4th 1, 27.)
