California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Mendoza, G054952 (Cal. App. 2019):
The willfulness to inflict great bodily injury was apparent. And in absence of evidence to the contrary, we presume the trial court followed the law and made the factual findings necessary to its determination. (See People v. Stowell (2003) 31 Cal.4th 1107, 1114; Ross v. Superior Court (1977) 19 Cal.3d 899, 913-914.)
