Is there any case law where the evidence was insufficient to permit a finding of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Jones, F074330 (Cal. App. 2019):

8. We note, however, that no party argues the evidence was insufficient to permit a finding of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Accordingly, retrial on this count is not precluded. (People v. Venegas (1998) 18 Cal.4th 47, 94-95.)
