What is the standard of review in the context of a sexual assault case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Holder, 165 Cal.App.3d 998, 212 Cal.Rptr. 198 (Cal. App. 1985):

The standard of review regarding sufficiency of the evidence is well settled. "The general rule, of course, is that '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. Green (1980) 27 Cal.3d 1, 55 [164 Cal.Rptr. 1, 609 P.2d 468].)" (People v. Dillon (1983) 34 Cal.3d 441, 455, 194 Cal.Rptr. 390, 668 P.2d 697.)
