Is there insufficient evidence to support an assault with a deadly weapon conviction?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Truong, B271812 (Cal. App. 2017):

Defendant argues that there is insufficient evidence to support his assault with a deadly weapon convictions. In assessing defendant's claims, our task is to ask whether each conviction is supported by evidence that is reasonable, credible, and of solid value from which a reasonable trier of fact could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and we do so while viewing the record in the light most favorable to the conviction. (People v. Covarrubias (2016) 1 Cal.5th 838, 890.)
