What is the test for sufficiency of evidence in a medical malpractice case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Winters, A122443, No. CH44603 (Cal. App. 2010):
In determining the sufficiency of the evidence, we " 'must view the evidence in a light most favorable to respondent and presume in support of the judgment the existence of every fact the trier could reasonably deduce from the evidence.' [Citations.]" (People v. Johnson (1980) 26 Cal.3d 557, 576-577.) "Evidence, to be 'substantial' must be 'of ponderable legal significance... reasonable in nature, credible, and of solid value.' [Citations.]" (Id. at p. 576, brackets added.)
