LaMere v. Slaughter, 458 F.3d 878 (9th Cir. Aug. 8, 2006) (habeas relief properly denied, despite claims under In re Winship, 397 U.S. 358 (1970), and Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 (1979), on the grounds that the prosecution failed to introduce sufficient evidence of guilt during case-in-chief, since Winship and Jackson do not apply to a motion for directed verdict of acquittal at the close of the case-in-chief; court on habeas looks at all the evidence presented to determine if it was sufficient).
