When reviewing evidentiary challenges in criminal cases, does the court have to consider the evidence in the most favorable light?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Cummings, 858 F.3d 763 (2nd Cir. 2017):
When reviewing evidentiary challenges in criminal cases, we view the evidence in the light most favorable to the government. See United States v. Curley , 639 F.3d 50, 54 n.1 (2d Cir. 2011). Nevertheless, we only draw inferences that are supported by the evidence in the record.
