Copyright 2007 Thomson Delmar Learning. All Rights Reserved. STATE v. WILLIAMS PURPOSE: Williams illustrates the substantial evidence rule applied to a criminal case.

Copyright 2007 Thomson Delmar Learning. All Rights Reserved. STATE v. WILLIAMS CAUSE OF ACTION: Assault.

Copyright 2007 Thomson Delmar Learning. All Rights Reserved. STATE v. WILLIAMS FACTS: Williams allegedly assaulted his wife Raegen. The evidence: A tape of a 911 call made by Raegen, her oral and written statements to police the morning of the alleged assault, and a red mark on her neck. At trial, Raegen recanted and denied that Williams had assaulted her. The jury found Williams guilty and the court entered a judgment of guilty, to which Williams moved for a judgment of acquittal.

Copyright 2007 Thomson Delmar Learning. All Rights Reserved. STATE v. WILLIAMS ISSUE: Whether the trial court was correct in denying Williams’ motion for judgment of acquittal.

Copyright 2007 Thomson Delmar Learning. All Rights Reserved. STATE v. WILLIAMS HOLDING: Yes. The trial court did not err in denying Williams’ motion for judgment of acquittal.

Copyright 2007 Thomson Delmar Learning. All Rights Reserved. STATE v. WILLIAMS REASONING: Substantial evidence test: Evidence is substantial if it would convince a rational fact finder that the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Substantial evidence must do more than raise suspicion or speculation. We consider all record evidence not just the evidence supporting guilt when we make sufficiency-of-the-evidence determinations. However, in making such determinations, we also view the evidence in the light most favorable to the State.
