Syllabus

When asserting a claim of obvious error, a defendant must show: (1) error (2) that is plain and (3) the error affects the defendant's substantial rights, if there is no error there is no reason to go further into the analysis. When the sufficiency of evidence to support a criminal conviction is challenged, the conviction rests on insufficient evidence only if no rational factfinder could have found the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt when weighed in a light most favorable to the verdict.
