The People of the State of New York, Appellant v. Jose Rossey, Respondent

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division’s order and remanded, holding that the proper appellate standard for reviewing the legal sufficiency of evidence is whether, viewed in the light most favorable to the People, the evidence could lead a rational trier of fact to find the elements beyond a reasonable doubt, and that under that standard the evidence supported Rossey’s murder conviction.
