On a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence, what is the test for determining the elements of a robbery?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Castaneda, B278764 (Cal. App. 2018):

On a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence, we view the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution to determine whether any rational trier of fact could have found the elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. (People v. Young (2005) 34 Cal.4th 1149, 1175 (Young).) We " ' "presume in support of the judgment the existence of every fact the trier could reasonably deduce from the evidence." ' " (Ibid.)

"Robbery is the felonious taking of personal property in the possession of another, from his person or immediate presence, and against his will, accomplished by means of force or fear." ( 211.) The defendant's use of force or fear must be motivated by an intent to steal. (People v. Anderson (2011) 51 Cal.4th 989, 994.)
