What is the test for determining whether evidence is sufficient to support a conviction?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Wills, C073028 (Cal. App. 2014):
In determining the sufficiency of the evidence, our role is limited. Under the state and federal constitutional due process clauses, "the test of whether evidence is sufficient to support a conviction is '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.' [Citations.]" (People v. Holt (1997) 15 Cal.4th 619, 667.)
