What is the standard of review applied to a defendant's claim that the evidence is insufficient to support his murder conviction?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from In Re William Richards, E049135, No. FV100826, No. SWHSS700444 (Cal. App. 2010):

6. During oral argument, defense counsel criticized our quoting the facts set forth in our prior opinion in People v. Richards, supra, E024365. We note our prior opinion addressed Defendant's claim that the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction of first degree murder. Given the applicable standard of review applied to such issue (People v. Kelly (2007) 42 Cal.4th 763, 787, 788), we find defense counsel's criticism to be misplaced.
