What is the standard of review applied by the Court of Appeal in the context of sexual assault cases?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Sotelo, E059083 (Cal. App. 2015):
In properly applying the standard of review, an appellate court must uphold the trial court's reasonable inferences and resolution of factual conflicts if supported by substantial evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the ruling, and must also accept the court's credibility determinations. (People v. Quesada (1991) 230 Cal.App.3d 525, 533.) The trial court's inferences and conclusions here are supported by substantial evidence.
