Heading: sufficiency of the evidence

Text: Finally, Mindombe also asserts on appeal that there was insufficient evidence to support his convictions. In reviewing sufficiency claims, we view the evidence in the light most favorable to the government, see Kelly v. United States, 639 A.2d 86, 89-90, and reversal is required only where there is no evidence to support an inference of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. See Patton v. United States, 633 A.2d 800, 820 (D.C.1993). In this case, J.M.'s testimony is sufficient to support Mindombe's convictions, and her testimony did not require independent corroboration. See Barrera v. United States, 599 A.2d 1119, 1124-25 (D.C.1991). Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is Affirmed.
