What is the standard of review for a juvenile application to have sustained a wardship petition on counts one, two, and six?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Juan P. (In re Juan P.), A153067, A153968 (Cal. App. 2019):

Juan argues the record below lacks sufficient evidence for the juvenile court to have sustained the wardship petition on counts one, two, and six. When considering such an appeal this court reviews "the whole record in the light most favorable to the judgment below to determine whether it discloses substantial evidencethat is, evidence which is reasonable, credible, and of solid valuesuch that a reasonable trier of fact could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt." (People v. Johnson (1980) 26 Cal.3d 557, 578.) "The same standard of appellate review is applicable in considering the sufficiency of the evidence in a juvenile proceeding as in reviewing the sufficiency of the evidence to support a criminal conviction." (In re Sylvester C. (2006) 137 Cal.App.4th 601, 605.)
