Syllabus

A conviction rests upon insufficient evidence only when no rational fact finder could have found the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt after viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution and giving the prosecution the benefit of all inferences reasonably to be drawn in its favor. Claims for obvious error require an error that is plain and affects substantial rights, and the error must be a clear deviation from an applicable legal rule under current law.
