substantial evidence to support [the conviction].' [Citation.]" (People v. Bolin (1998) 18 Cal.4th 297, 331.) On this record, there is ample evidence to support the conviction.

Doe sustained multiple contusions, a hematoma, and a nasal bone fracture. That is sufficient evidence to sustain the conviction.
