The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Vargas, 928 F.2d 409 (9th Cir. 1991):
Vargas finally contends that the evidence was insufficient to convict because several witnesses gave conflicting testimony. In deciding whether the evidence is sufficient, we view the evidence "in the light most favorable to the government," and resolve all conflicts in testimony in its favor. United States v. Ramos, 558 F.2d 545, 546 (9th Cir.1977). Considering the evidence in this light, we conclude the evidence was sufficient.
