When reviewing the sufficiency of evidentiary support for a conviction for sexual assault, is the evidence sufficient to support the conviction?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S.A v. Pfaff, 09-1702-cr(L), 09-1707-cr(CON), 09-1790-cr(CON) (2nd Cir. 2010):

[2] The evidence was sufficient to support the convictions. When reviewing a conviction for sufficiency of evidentiary support, "the trial evidence is viewed most favorably for the Government" and "all reasonable inferences a jury may have drawn favoring the Government must be credited." United States v. Wexler, 522 F.3d 194, 206-07 (2d Cir. 2008). We affirm "'if any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of [the] crime beyond a reasonable doubt.'" Id. at 207 (emphasis omitted) (quoting Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 319 (1979)).
