The following excerpt is from People v. Morales, A143465 (Cal. App. 2016):
As with all challenges to the sufficiency of the evidence, we review the entire record in the light most favorable to the judgment to determine whether it contains substantial evidenceevidence that is reasonable, credible and of solid valuefrom which a reasonable trier of fact could find the defendant guilty. (People v. Lewis (2009)

46 Cal.4th 1255, 1289.) We do not reweigh the evidence, resolve conflicts in the evidence, draw inferences contrary to the verdict, or reevaluate the credibility of witnesses. (People v. Little (2004) 115 Cal.App.4th 766, 771.) Evidence is not rendered insufficient simply because a different trier of fact might have reached a different result. (People v. Perez (1992) 2 Cal.4th 1117, 1126.)
