Heading: Insufficient Evidence to Support a Guilty Verdict.

Text: 23 Petitioner argues that there was no proof presented at trial that he aided and abetted Calo with specific intent to kill. He contends that the state can only prove that he was present at the scene of the crime, which is insufficient to support a conviction for aiding and abetting. 24 When reviewing the sufficiency of evidence, an appellate court must construe the evidence and all inferences drawn from the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 319 (1979), reh'g denied, 444 U.S. 890 (1979). The record demonstrates that the evidence presented at trial, viewed in a light most favorable to the government, was sufficient to support a guilty verdict. 25 For the reasons stated above, we affirm the judgment of the district court. 26 ---------------
