Is insufficient evidence sufficient to convict a defendant of a robbery at a gas station?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Miles, B282723 (Cal. App. 2018):

Appellant claims there was insufficient evidence that he committed the robbery at the 54th Street gas station. In assessing the sufficiency of the evidence, "we review the entire record in the light most favorable to the judgment to determine whether it contains substantial evidence -- that is, evidence that is reasonable, credible, and of solid value -- from which a reasonable trier of fact could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. [Citation.]" (People v. Lindberg (2008) 45 Cal.4th 1, 27.)
