The following excerpt is from People v. Singleton, A148969 (Cal. App. 2018):
But can the same be said for evidence that defendant was one of the robbers? " 'Apropos the question of identity, to entitle a reviewing court to set aside a jury's finding of guilt the evidence of identity must be so weak as to constitute practically no evidence at all.' " (People v. Mohamed (2011) 201 Cal.App.4th 515, 521.) On this point, too, " ' "Circumstantial evidence may be sufficient to connect a defendant with the crime and to prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt." ' " (People v. Thomas (1992) 2 Cal.4th 489, 514.)
