The following excerpt is from People v. Rivers, B253757 (Cal. App. 2015):
When the defendant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence, we review the record in the light most favorable to the judgment for substantial evidence supporting the judgment. (People v. Booker (2011) 51 Cal.4th 141, 172.) "'"We presume in support of the judgment the existence of every fact the trier of fact reasonably could infer from the evidence. [Citation.] If the circumstances reasonably justify the trier of fact's findings, reversal of the judgment is not warranted simply because the circumstances might also reasonably be reconciled with a contrary finding. [Citation.] A reviewing court neither reweighs evidence nor reevaluates a witness's credibility."'" (Ibid.)
