In what circumstances will a judge rely on the presumption of every fact the trier could reasonably deduce from the evidence?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Ocampo, G047321 (Cal. App. 2014):
In our review we "'presume[] in support of the judgment the existence of every fact the trier could reasonably deduce from the evidence.' [Citation.] 'This standard applies whether direct or circumstantial evidence is involved.' [ Citation.]" (People v. Avila (2009) 46 Cal.4th 680, 701.) Circumstantial evidence and the reasonable inferences drawn therefrom are sufficient to support the judgment. (People v. Lopez (2013) 56 Cal.4th 1028, 1069.)
