What is the test for overturning a conviction for sexual assault?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Robles, F063062 (Cal. App. 2013):
" 'In assessing the sufficiency of the evidence, we review the entire record in the light most favorable to the judgment to determine whether it discloses evidence that is reasonable, credible, and of solid value such that a reasonable trier of fact could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. [Citations.] Reversal on this ground is unwarranted unless it appears "that upon no hypothesis whatever is there sufficient substantial evidence to support [the conviction]." [Citation.]' [Citation.]" (People v. Wilson (2010) 186 Cal.App.4th 789, 805 quoting People v. Bolin (1998) 18 Cal.4th 297, 331.)
