What is the test for the sufficiency of evidence in criminal cases?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Angulo-Lopez, 8 F.3d 30 (9th Cir. 1993):
Appellants challenge the sufficiency of the evidence for nearly all their convictions. We must review the evidence in the light most favorable to the government and decide whether a rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. United States v. Bishop, 959 F.2d 820, 829 (9th Cir.1992).
