Is sufficient evidence to sustain a conviction for the completed crime of criminal threats?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Rodriguez, G055741 (Cal. App. 2019):

That is, we find sufficient evidence to sustain a conviction for the completed crime of criminal threats; therefore, we find sufficient evidence to sustain the jury's conviction for the attempted crime. (See People v. Rundle (2008) 43 Cal.4th 76, 138, fn. 28 ["a defendant can be convicted of an attempt to commit a crime even though the crime, in fact, was completed. Further, evidence tending to prove that the crime was completed, even though not absolute proof of the crime of attempt, gives rise to a reasonable inference that the perpetrator intended to commit that crime"].)
