The following excerpt is from The People v. K. H, B215432, Ct. No. TJ17915 (Cal. App. 2010):
"The standard of review is the same in cases in which the prosecution relies mainly on circumstantial evidence. [Citation.] '"Although it is the duty of the jury to acquit a defendant if it finds that circumstantial evidence is susceptible of two interpretations, one of which suggests guilt and the other innocence [citations], it is the jury, not the appellate court[,] which must be convinced of the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt."'" (People v. Rodriguez (1999) 20 Cal.4th 1, 11.)
