The following excerpt is from People v. Rubin, B306556 (Cal. App. 2021):
Appellant contends that the evidence does not support a premeditated murder finding. In a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence, we review the entire record in the light most favorable to the judgment, which must be upheld if there is substantial evidence from which a reasonable trier of fact could find the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. We presume the existence of every fact the trier could reasonably deduce from the evidence. (People v. Dalton (2019) 7 Cal.5th 166, 243-244.)
