What is the test for a claim of insufficiency of evidence?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Jimenez, D068407 (Cal. App. 2016):
When assessing a claim of insufficiency of evidence, whether as part of a motion seeking dismissal under section 1385 based on insufficiency of the evidence (People v. Hatch, supra, 22 Cal.4th at pp. 272-273) or on appeal to this court (People v. Iboa (2012) 207 Cal.App.4th 111, 117), the court must "review 'the whole record in the light most favorable to the judgment' and decide 'whether it discloses substantial evidence . . . such that a reasonable trier of fact could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.'
