What is substantial evidence supporting the appellant's argument for self-defense?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Gudino, F071563 (Cal. App. 2016):
5. As appellant noted in his brief, we recognized in appellant's appeal that substantial evidence supported his argument for self-defense. However, substantial evidence is merely evidence upon which a verdict could be based. (People v. Rangel (2016) 62 Cal.4th 1192, 1212-1213.) The existence of substantial evidence supporting a position does not demonstrate, therefore, that the jury accepted and relied upon the evidence.
