Reed, 875 F.2d 107, 111 (7th Cir.1989): “[T]he test that the court must use is whether at the time of the motion there was relevant evidence from which the jury could reasonably find [the defendant] guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the government ... bearing] in mind that ‘it is the exclusive function of the jury to determine the credibility of the witnesses, resolve evidentiary conflicts, and draw reasonable inferences.’” (quoting United States v. Marquardt, 786 F.2d 771, 780 (7th Cir.1986)); see …
