• explaining that “a 58 jury may infer a defendant’s criminal intent, and thereby find him guilty as a party to a crime, ‘from his presence, companionship, and conduct before, during, and after the offense’”
• considering 13 and giving significant weight to the certainty of the person who identified the defendant, while also giving great weight to the amount of time spent with that person before the crimes
• “[A]n acquittal on one count is not itself a basis to challenge the sufficiency of the evidence as to another count.”
