MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Phillips, 929 F.3d 1120 (9th Cir. 2019):
We review de novo whether sufficient evidence supports a conviction. United States v. Liew , 856 F.3d 585, 596 (9th Cir. 2017). There is sufficient evidence if, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Id. ; see also Jackson v. Virginia , 443 U.S. 307, 319, 99 S.Ct. 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560 (1979).
