It is sufficient for a conviction of any offense under this chapter that a finding of guilt is based upon admissible evidence. No minimum number of witnesses is required. In reviewing the sufficiency of the evidence of a conviction under this chapter, the court shall only consider whether there is evidence in the record which, if believed by the trier of fact, is sufficient to sustain a finding of guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
