The following excerpt is from People v. Joiner, D064432 (Cal. App. 2014):
disputed elements of the crime in the light most favorable to the People, and then must persuade us that evidence cannot reasonably support the jury's verdict." (People v. Sanghera (2006) 139 Cal.App.4th 1567, 1574, italics omitted.) "If the defendant fails to present us with all the relevant evidence, or fails to present that evidence in the light most favorable to the People, then he cannot carry his burden of showing the evidence was insufficient because support for the [trier of fact's] verdict may lie in the evidence he ignores." (Ibid.)
