What is the test for overturning a finding of guilty beyond a reasonable doubt?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Rodriguez, G055741 (Cal. App. 2019):

"It is the trier of fact, not the appellate court, that must be convinced of a defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. If the circumstances reasonably justify the trier of fact's findings, the opinion of the reviewing court that the circumstances might also be reasonably reconciled with a contrary finding does not warrant a reversal of the judgment." (People v. Robillard (1960) 55 Cal.2d 88, 93.)
