MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Rocky Mountain Stump, 875 F.2d 319 (9th Cir. 1989):

The standard of review for a judgment of acquittal and dismissal of the indictment, entered after a verdict of guilty, is the same as the standard of review for the trial court following conviction. United States v. Sharif, 817 F.2d 1375, 1377 (9th Cir.1987); United States v. Brandon, 633 F.2d 773, 780 (9th Cir.1980). The evidence must be considered in the light most favorable to support the verdict and must be such that a reasonable jury could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Id.
