California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Clotfelter, 279 Cal.Rptr.3d 487, 65 Cal.App.5th 30 (Cal. App. 2021):

also reasonably be reconciled with a contrary finding.... A reviewing court neither reweighs evidence nor reevaluates a witness's credibility. " ( People v. Albillar (2010) 51 Cal.4th 47, 60, 119 Cal.Rptr.3d 415, 244 P.3d 1062.) We consider whether " "any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt." " ( People v. Rich (1988) 45 Cal.3d 1036, 1081, 248 Cal.Rptr. 510, 755 P.2d 960.)
