The following excerpt is from People v. Montoya, B252906 (Cal. App. 2014):
"When we decide issues of sufficiency of evidence, comparison with other cases is of limited utility, since each case necessarily depends on its own facts. [Citation.]" (People v. Thomas (1992) 2 Cal.4th 489, 516.) Moreover, although the cases on which defendant relies involved, in addition to possession, evidence of false identification or an attempt to use or negotiate the forged or counterfeit instrument, none held that only such circumstances would be sufficient to prove intent.
