What is the test for determining whether sufficient evidence exists to convict defendant Has of manslaughter?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Has v. Bunnell, 954 F.2d 727 (9th Cir. 1992):

In determining whether sufficient evidence exists to support a jury's verdict, we must determine 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." Jackson v. Virginia 443 U.S. 307, 319 (1979) (emphasis in original). Based on our independent review of the evidence, we conclude that sufficient evidence existed for a reasonable jury to find Has guilty of manslaughter.
