What is the test for determining whether there is sufficient evidence to support a court's findings?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. A.C. (In re A.C.), A139350 (Cal. App. 2014):

148 Cal.App.3d 55, 59.) In determining whether there is sufficient evidence to support a court's findings, we review the entire record in the light most favorable to the prosecution to see if any rational trier of fact could have been so persuaded. (People v. Hovarter (2008) 44 Cal.4th 983, 996-997.) When differing inferences "can reasonably be deduced from the facts, a reviewing court is without power to substitute its deductions for those of the trial court[, and] . . . it is of no consequence that the trial court believing other evidence, or drawing other reasonable inferences, might have reached a contrary conclusion. [Citations.]" (Bowers v. Bernards (1984) 150 Cal.App.3d 870, 873-874, italics omitted.) We find no arguable issue as to the jurisdictional order.
