How have courts reviewed a challenge to the sufficiency of evidence?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Moua Xiong, F062259, F062262, F062263, F062264 (Cal. App. 2013):

In reviewing a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence, "[w]e presume in support of the judgment the existence of every fact the trier of fact reasonably could infer from the evidence. [Citation.] If the circumstances reasonably justify the trier of fact's findings, reversal of the judgment is not warranted simply because the circumstances might also reasonably be reconciled with a contrary finding. [Citation.] A reviewing court neither reweighs evidence nor reevaluates a witness's credibility. [Citation.]" (People v. Lindberg (2008) 45 Cal.4th 1, 27.)
