What is the test for conducting a judicial review of a finding of false imprisonment?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Harrelson, D068969 (Cal. App. 2016):

such a review, we " 'presume[] in support of the judgment the existence of every fact the trier could reasonably deduce from the evidence.' [Citation.]" [Citations.] "Conflicts and even testimony which is subject to justifiable suspicion do not justify the reversal of a judgment, for it is the exclusive province of the trial judge or jury to determine the credibility of a witness and the truth or falsity of the facts upon which a determination depends. [Citation.] We resolve neither credibility issues nor evidentiary conflicts; we look for substantial evidence." ' " (People v. Harris (2013) 57 Cal.4th 804, 849.)
