What is the standard of review for a conviction based largely on circumstantial evidence?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Cropper, G050806 (Cal. App. 2015):

We answer this question in the affirmative. "'[W]e review the entire record in the light most favorable to the prevailing party to determine whether it shows evidence that is reasonable, credible and of solid value from which a rational trier of fact could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.'" (People v. Carbajal (2003) 114 Cal.App.4th 978, 986-987.) "[T]he same standard [applies] to convictions based largely on circumstantial evidence." (Id. at p. 987.)
