Is there insufficient evidence to sustain a witness-dissuasion conviction?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Lopez, B303552 (Cal. App. 2021):

Lopez contends there was insufficient evidence to sustain his witness-dissuasion conviction under Penal Code section 136.1, subdivision (a)(2). "'When considering a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence to support a conviction, we review the entire record in the light most favorable to the judgment to determine whether it contains substantial evidence -- that is, 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.'" (People v. Morales (2020) 10 Cal.5th 76, 88.) A court applying this standard "'"'presumes in support of the judgment the existence of every fact the trier could reasonably deduce from the evidence.'"'" (Ibid.)
