Is there sufficient evidence to support defendant's solicitation of murder?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Nelson, E061050 (Cal. App. 2015):
Even more to the point, "[i]n deciding the sufficiency of the evidence, a reviewing court resolves neither credibility issues nor evidentiary conflicts. [Citation.] Resolution of conflicts and inconsistencies in the testimony is the exclusive province of the trier of fact. [Citation.]" (People v. Young (2005) 34 Cal.4th 1149, 1181.)
We therefore conclude that there was sufficient evidence to support defendant's conviction for solicitation of murder.3
