What is the standard of review in a claim regarding the sufficiency of the evidence?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Serena L. (In re Serena L.), F063857 (Cal. App. 2012):
The standard of review in a claim regarding the sufficiency of the evidence is familiar: "'"When the sufficiency of the evidence is challenged on appeal, the court must review the whole record in the light most favorable to the judgment to determine whether it contains substantial evidence - i.e., evidence that is credible and of solid value - from which a rational trier of fact could have found the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt."'" (People v. Hill (1998) 17 Cal.4th 800, 848-849.) This same standard applies in juvenile cases. (In re Macidon (1966) 240 Cal.App.2d 600, 607.)
