When there is no claim of insufficiency of evidence, what is the case law in which the appellant's version of events is rejected?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Foster, 6 Cal.App.4th 1, 7 Cal.Rptr.2d 748 (Cal. App. 1992):
When there is no claim of insufficiency of evidence we typically synopsize the trial testimony with a perspective favoring the judgment (People v. Barnes (1986) 42 Cal.3d 284, 303-304, 228 Cal.Rptr. 228, 721 P.2d 110) and largely ignore appellant's version of events because the finder of fact rejected it. In this case we depart from our usual practice.
