The following excerpt is from In re Corpus, 262 Cal.Rptr.3d 602, 463 P.3d 802, 9 Cal.5th 455 (Cal. 2020):
In any event, what counts under the standard for upholding the trial court's decision here is not whether there's any evidence at all supporting the defendant's contention. It's whether a reasonable trier of fact could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Viewing the whole record as we must (see People v. Cuevas (1995) 12 Cal.4th 252, 260-261, 48 Cal.Rptr.2d 135, 906 P.2d 1290 ) we
[262 Cal.Rptr.3d 612]
agree with the trial court that this element of article I, section 12(b) was satisfied.
