answered the door, and burglarizing three homes where no one answered the door. The court noted that the circumstantial evidence of the defendant's intent was susceptible of two interpretations by the jury, one innocent, the other guilty. Citing the familiar principles of substantial evidence review set forth above, the court concluded that the defendant's attempted burglary convictions were based on logical inferences the jury had drawn from the evidence, which the court must accept on appeal. (Id. at p. , 200 Cal.Rptr.3d at p. 73;People v. Maury, supra, 30 Cal.4th at p. 396, 133 Cal.Rptr.2d 561, 68 P.3d 1.)
