California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Deville, E057286 (Cal. App. 2013):
When a criminal defendant contends the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction, we review "'"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. Burney (2009) 47 Cal.4th 203, 253.)
