| 2 | Commonwealth v. Miller | green | “further, a conviction may be sustained wholly on circumstantial evidence, and the trier of fact-while passing on the credibility of the witnesses and the weight of the evidence-is free to believe all, part, or none of the evidence.” | 59 |
| 3 | Commonwealth v. Miller | green | “we review claims regarding the sufficiency of the evidence by considering whether, viewing all the evidence admitted at trial in the light most favorable to the verdict winner, there is sufficient evidence to enable the fact-finder to find every element of the crime beyond a rea…” | 57 |

| 6 | In the Interest of: A.G.C., a Minor | green | “a weight of the evidence claim concedes that the evidence is sufficient to sustain the verdict but seeks a new trial on the grounds that the evidence was so one-sided or so weighted in favor of acquittal that a guilty verdict shocks one's sense of justice.” | 7 |
