The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Grayson, 597 F.2d 1225 (9th Cir. 1979):
On appeal, not only must we construe the evidence in the light most favorable to the government, but we may not set aside the conclusions of the fact finder. The test is whether the jurors could rationally conclude from the evidence that guilt was established beyond a reasonable doubt. United States v. King, 552 F.2d 833, 852 (9th Cir. 1976); United States v. Nelson, 419 F.2d 1237, 1242-44 (9th Cir. 1969).
