What is the test for the sufficiency of evidence of a criminal conviction?

In determining the sufficiency of evidence of a criminal conviction, the evidence must be viewed in a light most favorable to the government to determine whether "any reasonable trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt." United States v. Kuball, 976 F.2d 529, 531 (9th Cir.1992; (quoting United States v. Adler, 879 F.2d 491, 495 (9th Cir.1988)). " '[T]he government's evidence need not exclude every reasonable hypothesis consistent with innocence.' " United States v. Bishop, 959 F.2d 820, 830 (9th Cir.1992) (quoting United States v. Miller, 688 F.2d 652, 663 (9th Cir.1982)).
