The following excerpt is from People v. Penaloza, G055244 (Cal. App. 2019):
When considering a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence, we review the entire record in the light most favorable to the judgment to determine whether it contains evidence that is reasonable, credible, and of solid value, from which a reasonable trier of fact could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. (People v. D'Arcy (2010) 48 Cal.4th 257, 293.) We do not reweigh the evidence or reassess witness credibility, and presume in support of the judgment every fact reasonably inferable from the evidence. (Ibid.) Nor can we reverse the judgment simply because the evidence could be reconciled with a contrary finding. (Ibid.)
