What is the test for establishing evidentiary support for a conviction?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Hudson, B257539 (Cal. App. 2015):

When there is a challenge to evidentiary support of a conviction, we must review the whole record in the light most favorable to the judgment to determine whether substantial evidence existed for a reasonable trier of fact to find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. (People v. Ochoa (1993) 6 Cal.4th 1199, 1206.) While we must " 'ensure the evidence is reasonable, credible, and of solid value,' " we must give deference to the trier of fact's conclusions about the truth of facts and the credibility of witnesses. (Ibid.)
