California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Valdivia, G039545 (Cal. App. 12/12/2008), G039545 (Cal. App. 2008):
"In determining whether there is sufficient evidence to support a criminal conviction, we must review the whole record in the light most favorable to the judgment below to determine whether it discloses substantial evidence that is evidence which is reasonable, credible and of solid value such that a reasonable trier of fact could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt." (People v. Johnson (1980) 26 Cal.3d 557, 576.)
