3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. State v. Kelsey · State v. Yabusaki“It matters not if a conviction under the evidence as so considered might be deemed to be against the weight of the evidence so long as there is substantial evidence tending to support the requisite findings for conviction. [Citations omitted.] The test on appeal is not whether guilt is established beyond a reasonable doubt, but whether there is substantial evidence to support the conclusion of the trier of fact. Further, the rule is the same whether the accused has been tried before a judge or a jury. [Citations omitted.]”
