Text: Both Arthur and Andre properly preserved this issue by moving for acquittal at the close of the Government’s case and at the close of all of the evidence. See United States v. Shum, 496 F.3d 390, 391 (5th Cir. 2007) (citation omitted). This Court reviews the sufficiency of the evidence de novo. Id. “In deciding whether the evidence was sufficient, we review all evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict to determine whether a rational trier of fact could have found that the evidence established the essential elements of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt.” Id. (citations omitted). 6 Case: 12-31046 Document: 00512496417 Page: 7 Date Filed: 01/10/2014 No. 12-31046
