What is the test for sufficiency of evidence in an assault case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Espinoza, 2d Crim. No. B293401 (Cal. App. 2019):

In deciding the sufficiency of the evidence, we draw all reasonable inferences in support of the judgment. We do not weigh the evidence, resolve evidentiary conflicts, or determine the credibility of the witnesses. (People v. Yeoman (2003) 31 Cal.4th 93, 128.) Espinoza cites portions of the record and claims it supports his claim that he did not inflict great bodily injury. But the issue is not whether some evidence supports appellant, it is only whether substantial evidence supports the judgment.
