What is the test for a challenge to the sufficiency of evidence to support a judgment under section 422 of the criminal threat statute?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Hayes, F067970 (Cal. App. 2015):

When considering a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence to support a judgment, we review the record in the light most favorable to the judgment and decide whether it contains substantial evidence from which a reasonable finder of fact could make the necessary finding beyond a reasonable doubt. The evidence must be reasonable, credible, and of solid value. We presume every inference in support of the judgment that the finder of fact could reasonably have made. We do not reweigh the evidence or reevaluate witness credibility. We cannot reverse the judgment merely because the evidence could be reconciled with a contrary finding. (People v.
