What is Bolain's contention that the evidence against him was insufficient to convict him of murder?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Boniface, 110 F.3d 70 (9th Cir. 1997):
Bolain's second and final contention is that the evidence was not sufficient to sustain his conviction. We have reviewed the record, find the evidence compelling to say the least, and hold that a "rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt." United States v. Vgeri, 51 F.3d 876, 879 (9th Cir.1995). Thus, this contention must also fail.
