The following excerpt is from People v. Resendez, 13 Cal.App.5th 181, 220 Cal.Rptr.3d 118 (Cal. App. 2017):
judgment to determine whether it contains substantial evidencethat is, evidence that is reasonable, credible, and of solid valuefrom which a reasonable trier of fact could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. [Citation.] We presume every fact in support of the judgment the trier of fact could have reasonably deduced from the evidence. [Citation.] If the circumstances reasonably justify the trier of fact's findings, reversal of the judgment is not warranted simply because the circumstances might also reasonably be reconciled with a contrary finding." ( People v. Albillar (2010) 51 Cal.4th 47, 59-60, 119 Cal.Rptr.3d 415, 244 P.3d 1062.)
