Is insufficient evidence sufficient to overturn a conviction for murder and torture?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Marquez, E064234 (Cal. App. 2017):

Defendant challenges the judgment on the ground there was insufficient evidence to support his convictions for murder and torture. When a criminal defendant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence, this court must "'review the whole record in the light most favorable to the judgment below to determine whether it discloses substantial evidence that is, evidence which is reasonable, credible, and of solid value such that a reasonable trier of fact could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.' [Citations.]" (People v. Ceja (1993) 4 Cal.4th 1134, 1138.)
