California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Orji, G047057 (Cal. App. 2013):
(People v. Ochoa (1993) 6 Cal.4th 1199, 1206.) We must determine whether the evidence supporting the verdict is reasonable, credible, and of solid value. We do not reweigh the evidence. (Ibid.) "Direct proof of . . . theft is not necessary; [it] may be proved by circumstantial evidence." (People v. Kross (1952) 112 Cal.App.2d 602, 610.)
