The following excerpt is from People v. Maresh, A147612 (Cal. App. 2017):
In reviewing a claim that the evidence is insufficient to support a conviction, "we must determine only whether, on the record as a whole, any rational trier of fact could find [the defendant] guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. [Citation.] We view the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, and presume in support of the judgment the existence of every fact the trier could reasonably deduce from the evidence." (People v. Griffin (2004) 33 Cal.4th 1015, 1028.)
