The following excerpt is from The People v. Montonen, A125257, Ct. No. CR-F-08-9605 (Cal. App. 2010):
In determining whether the evidence is sufficient to support the verdict, we must review " 'the whole record in the light most favorable to the judgment' and decide 'whether it discloses substantial evidence... such that a reasonable trier of fact could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.' " (People v. Hatch (2000) 22 Cal.4th 260, 272, quoting People v. Johnson (1980) 26 Cal.3d 557, 578.)
