The following excerpt is from People v. Richards, G048289 (Cal. App. 2014):
Defendant next challenges the sufficiency of the evidence with regard to each of his 10 convictions. In reviewing the record for substantial evidence, our role is limited to asking "'whether, after viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt.'" (People v. Holt (1997) 15 Cal.4th 619, 667.) "We draw all reasonable inferences in support of the judgment." (People v. Wader (1993) 5 Cal.4th 610, 640.)
