How does the Court of Appeal review the sufficiency of evidence to support a conviction?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Salguero, B278429 (Cal. App. 2018):

"When the sufficiency of the evidence to support a conviction is challenged on appeal, we review the entire record in the light most favorable to the judgment to determine whether it contains evidence that is reasonable, credible, and of solid value from which a trier of fact could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. [Citation.] Our review must presume in support of the judgment the existence of every fact the jury could reasonably have deduced from the evidence. [Citation.] . . . . [T]he relevant inquiry on appeal is whether, in light of all the evidence, 'any reasonable trier of fact could have found the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.' [Citation.]" (People v. Zaragoza (2016) 1 Cal.5th 21, 44.)
