In assessing the sufficiency of evidence to support a judgment, how does the Court assess the credibility of the evidence?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Wright, B206384 (Cal. App. 7/31/2008), B206384 (Cal. App. 2008):

In assessing the sufficiency of evidence to support a judgment, we review the evidence most favorably to the judgment to determine whether reasonable and credible evidence exists from which a reasonable trier of fact could have determined guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. (People v. Snow (2003) 30 Cal.4th 43, 66.) We do not redetermine the weight of the evidence or the credibility of witnesses. (Ibid.) Nor do we substitute our reasonable inferences drawn from the evidence for those drawn by the trier of fact. (People v. Rodriguez (1999) 20 Cal.4th 1, 11.)
