The following excerpt is from Miller v. Stagner, 757 F.2d 988 (9th Cir. 1985):
When a petitioner in a 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254 habeas case challenges the sufficiency of the evidence, the issue is "whether, after viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt." Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 319, 99 S.Ct. 2781, 2789, 61 L.Ed.2d 560 (1979).
