What is the sufficiency of evidence to support a criminal conviction under section 422 of the California Criminal Code?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Dorsey, B252186 (Cal. App. 2015):

We review the sufficiency of the evidence to support a criminal conviction under the substantial evidence standard. Substantial evidence is evidence that is reasonable, credible, and of solid value such that a rational trier of fact could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. We view the evidence in the light most favorable to the judgment and accept as true all evidence tending to support the judgment, including all facts that reasonably can be deduced from the evidence. We affirm the judgment only if an examination of the entire record viewed in this light discloses substantial evidence to support the judgment. (People v. Kraft (2000) 23 Cal.4th 978, 1053; People v. Jones (1990) 51 Cal.3d 294, 314.)
