The following excerpt is from People v. Luna, C091590 (Cal. App. 2021):
As we have discussed ante, there was substantial evidence presented in the People's case-in-chief, which was sufficient to support the jury's rational inferences that defendant had constructive possession of the firearm. Under the circumstances, defense counsel was not deficient in declining to make a section 1118.1 motion for acquittal. (People v. Jennings (1991) 53 Cal.3d 334, 357.)
