The following excerpt is from People v. Garrett, C067436, C069886 (Cal. App. 2018):
As we explained in part I A., ante, when considering a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence, "the court must review the whole record in the light most favorable to the judgment below to determine whether it discloses substantial evidence that is, evidence which is reasonable, credible, and of solid value such that a reasonable trier of fact could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt." (People v. Johnson (1980) 26 Cal.3d 557, 578, italics added.)
