What is the test for reversal of a conviction for false imprisonment?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Howard, B254208 (Cal. App. 2015):

We presume in support of the judgment the existence of any fact the jury reasonably could have deduced from the evidence. (People v. Zamudio (2008) 43 Cal.4th 327, 357.) In applying this standard, "'[w]e resolve neither credibility issues nor evidentiary conflicts . . . . [Citation.]' [Citation.] A reversal for insufficient evidence 'is unwarranted unless it appears "that upon no hypothesis whatever is there sufficient substantial evidence to support"' the jury's verdict. [Citation.]" (Ibid.)

B. There was Substantial Evidence To Support a Conviction for Felony False Imprisonment
