2019Since Mr. Ayerst 7 No. 35867-4-III State v. Ayerst does not assert instructional error, Jackson’s analysis is largely irrelevant to Mr. Ayerst’s case.3 Instead, Mr. Ayerst’s case is controlled by Bencivenga, 137 Wn.2d 703 .

2013C Fourteenth Amendment due process and the Jackson standard ¶59 Having demonstrated that our Supreme Court has never decided a Fourteenth Amendment due process proof beyond a reasonable doubt case based upon the incidental restraint concern, we now address the parameters of the Jackson standard to explain why, absent a legislative or judicial narrowing of the definition of “restrain,” the Fourteenth Amendment is not implicated by the incidental restraint concern. ¶60 The Fourteenth Amendment due process clause protects the accused in a criminal case “against conviction except upon proof beyond

2020In the time period between Green II and Homan (and even after Homan), when reviewing whether a conviction is supported by a legally sufficient quantum of evidence, our Supreme Court has applied only the federal constitutional standard set forth in Jackson. ~ ~ State v.

2018Because Mr. Perez does not allege instructional error, Jackson’s analysis is largely irrelevant to Mr. Perez’s case. 5 Rather than Jackson, Mr. Perez’s case is controlled by State v. Bencivenga, 137 Wn.2d 703 , 974 P.2d 832 (1999).

2013The Jackson standard is simply intended to ensure that the defendant’s due process right in the trial court was properly observed; it is concerned with the quantum of proof supporting a conviction, not with what acts must be proved. ¶64 “Authority to define crimes and set punishments rests firmly with the legislature.” State v. Torres Ramos, 149 Wn.

2025Judge Dwyer’s concurrence in Stewart identified conflicts between Homan and Jackson: the Jackson test arose from a bench trial and the opinion did not distinguish between convictions resulting from jury or bench trials; Homan focuses review on the result reached by the trial judge rather than “‘any rational trier of fact’” as required by Jackson, and Homan limited review of evidence to that set out in a judge’s factual findings as opposed to Jackson, which plainly requires consideration of “‘all of the evidence.’” Id. at 244 (quoting Jackson, 443 U.S. at 319 ).
