Is insufficient evidence sufficient to overturn a conviction for the murder of John Foster?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Foster, B286544 (Cal. App. 2020):

Foster argues insufficient evidence supported his conviction for Hudson's murder. We review the entire record in the light most favorable to the judgment to determine whether any rational trier of fact could have found the evidence proved the elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. (People v. Manibusan (2013) 58 Cal.4th 40, 87.) We draw all reasonable inferences in favor of the judgment, do not resolve credibility issues or reweigh the evidence, and ask only if the evidence reasonably justifies the findings of the jury. (Ibid.)
