What is the test for reversing a finding of insufficient evidence in a sexual assault case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Bulandr, A145716 (Cal. App. 2017):

" 'In addressing a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence supporting a conviction, the reviewing court must examine the whole record in the light most favorable to the judgment to determine whether it discloses substantial evidenceevidence that is reasonable, credible and of solid valuesuch that a reasonable trier of fact could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. [Citation.]' " (People v. Golde (2008) 163 Cal.App.4th 101, 108.) "We do not resolve credibility issues or evidentiary conflicts. Instead, we presume in support of the judgment the existence of every fact the jury could reasonably have deduced from the evidence." (People v. Aznavoleh (2012) 210 Cal.App.4th 1181, 1186.) "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." (People v. Zamudio (2008) 43 Cal.4th 327, 357.)
