The following excerpt is from People v. Hein, 104 Cal.Rptr.2d 85 (Cal. App. 2001):
"'To determine whether there is substantial evidence to support a conviction . . . [the reviewing court] . . . must view the record in a light most favorable to conviction, resolving all conflicts in the evidence and drawing all reasonable inferences in support of conviction. [The reviewing court] . . . may conclude that there is no substantial evidence in support of conviction only if it can be said that on the evidence presented no reasonable fact finder could find the defendant guilty on the theory presented. [Citation.]" (People v. Campbell, supra, 25 Cal.App.4th at p. 408.)
