When will a jury review the sufficiency of the evidence?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Arreaga, A154378 (Cal. App. 2019):
When we review a jury verdict for sufficiency of the evidence, we are limited to determining whether, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. (People v. Morgan (2007) 42 Cal.4th 593, 613.) An element has substantial support if the evidence is " ' "reasonable in nature, credible, and of solid value." ' " (Id. at p. 614.)
