The following excerpt is from People v. Alvarado, G057507 (Cal. App. 2020):
"In deciding the sufficiency of the evidence, a reviewing court resolves neither credibility issues nor evidentiary conflicts." (People v. Young (2005) 34 Cal.4th 1149, 1181.) Before a verdict may be set aside for insufficiency of the evidence, a party must demonstrate "'that upon no hypothesis whatever is there sufficient substantial evidence to support [the conviction].'" (People v. Bolin (1998) 18 Cal.4th 297, 331-332.)
