Does the evidence support a finding that the evidence against the appellant was not as strong as the trial court concluded?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Vargascortes, F071063 (Cal. App. 2016):
3. Appellant argues the evidence against him was subject to several potential attacks and thus was not as strong as the trial court concluded. But this is beside the point. The question before us is whether, viewed in the light most favorable to the trial court's decision, substantial evidence supports the judgment. (People v. Quesada (1991) 230 Cal.App.3d 525, 533.) We do not reweigh the evidence.
