When will a court review a motion under section 1118.1?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Maskovian, B278097 (Cal. App. 2018):
When ruling on a motion under Penal Code section 1118.1, a trial court applies the same sufficiency-of-evidence standard applied by appellate courts in reviewing convictions. On appeal from a denial of such a motion, we independently review the sufficiency of the evidence at the point the motion was made. (People v. Maciel (2013) 57 Cal.4th 482, 522.)
