California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Urena, H034720 (Cal. App. 2011):
" 'To determine the sufficiency of the evidence to support a conviction, an appellate court reviews the entire record in the light most favorable to the prosecution to determine whether it contains evidence that is reasonable, credible, and of solid value, from which a rational trier of fact could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.' [Citations.]" (People v. Tafoya (2007) 42 Cal.4th 147, 170.)
