What is the standard of review applied to a conviction for kidnapping?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Allen, 55 Cal.App.4th 943, 64 Cal.Rptr.2d 497 (Cal. App. 1997):

The standard of review applied to determine the factual sufficiency of the evidence to support a conviction for kidnapping directs appellate courts to view the evidence in the light most favorable to the respondent and presume in support of the judgment the existence of every fact the trier could reasonably deduce from the evidence. (People v. Lewis (1990) 50 Cal.3d 262, 277, 266 Cal.Rptr. 834, 786 P.2d 892.) Therefore, we review the evidence presented at trial in that light. 1
