What is the test for denying a motion for acquittal and upholding the verdict of the jury in the case of fugitive from justice?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Ballesteros-Cordova, 586 F.2d 1321 (9th Cir. 1978):

This court must affirm the district court's denial of the motion for acquittal and uphold the verdict of the jury if, in viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the government, there is relevant evidence from which the jury could reasonably find the defendant was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. United States v. Rojas, 554 F.2d 938 (9th Cir. 1977); United States v. Nelson, 419 F.2d 1237 (9th Cir. 1969). In this case, the jury verdict is supported by essentially the same evidence which led the district court to conclude that the defendant was a fugitive from justice.
