Is the evidence insufficient to support a conviction of two counts of second degree murder?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Autry, 37 Cal.App.4th 351, 43 Cal.Rptr.2d 135 (Cal. App. 1995):

Appellant contends the evidence is insufficient to support conviction of two counts of second degree murder. We review this contention under the usual standard of the substantial evidence rule, resolving all conflicts in evidence and questions of credibility in favor of the verdict, and indulging every reasonable inference the jury could draw from the evidence. (People v. David (1991) 230 Cal.App.3d 1109, 1114, 1116, 281 Cal.Rptr. 656.)
